Details about Uneasy Citizenship: Embracing the Tension in Faith and Politics:

For Christians, it might seem like a confusing time to approach the political world. Polarization and partisanship threaten to divide communities, including the church. At the same time, American politics and government requires participation from its citizens, and Christians are called to be in the world for the sake of God's kingdom. How, exactly, are Christians to respond faithfully to an increasingly toxic political environment?In Uneasy Citizenship, political scientist Daniel Bennett proposes a way forward for the politically engaged and weary alike. Identifying both challenges and opportunities stemming from the contemporary political environment, Bennett argues for a distinctly Christian political engagement that confounds society's notions of what effective politics is. He advises Christians to combat the temptation to idolize political outcomes and focus instead on cultivating faithful political practices at the individual, local, and national levels. Faithful political engagement is not easy, especially during times of crisis and upheaval. Uneasy Citizenship shows how Christians can approach politics confidently and hopefully, taking our earthly citizenship seriously with an eye toward our inevitable citizenship in heaven.
