No matter who wins the next election, Caesar will remain Caesar,
doing some good and some bad. But Christians report to a different
king. This issue starts with a provocation. In his opening letter,
editor Peter Mommsen suggests Christians are too excited about the
wrong politics: "Questions of public justice should matter deeply
to Christians. We dare not be indifferent about securing healthcare
for all and ending interventionist wars; we must seek to reduce
abortions and strengthen families. When an election comes, we
should pray and then, perhaps, lend our support to a candidate we
judge may, on balance, advance social righteousness. But if the
early Christians and the Anabaptists are right, this isn't the
politics that matters most. And so, as a matter of faithfulness, we
should question how much it deserves of our passion and time. Our
allegiance belongs elsewhere." In contrast to an election campaign,
this politics may feel grittier and less glamorous. This issue of
Plough Quarterly explores what this alternate vision of faithful
Christian witness in the political sphere might look like. You'll
find articles on: What two leading political theorists of left and
right agree on What persecution taught Anabaptists about politics
The Bruderhof's interactions with the state Tolstoy's case against
making war more humane How some Christians read Romans 13 under
fascism
