2022 Christianity Today Finalist, Politics & Public Life "A
crucial book." --Timothy Keller Our world is facing increasing
hostilities. Political and cultural differences rage, even among
people who otherwise show goodwill. And the church is no stranger
to extreme polarization, theological backbiting, and political
squabbling. Jesus's prayer in John 17--that the church be one as he
and the Father are one--seems increasingly unattainable. But what
if Scripture actually provides the key for thinking about unity in
diversity? In Uncommon Unity: Wisdom for the Church in an Age of
Division, Richard Lints explores the nature of diversity and how
Christians can think more clearly about unity in an increasingly
polarized age. Drawing on theological, historical, and sociological
resources, Lints exposes problems with the inclusion narrative of
democracy and shows a better way forward for fostering unity in the
midst of extreme diversity. If we are to think rightly about
diversity, wisdom is required for the church in our late modern
world. Through wisdom, Christians can display real unity in
diversity and bear witness of the God who made them for himself as
diverse members of his one body. Readers of Uncommon Unity will be
heartened that Scripture and Christian tradition provide an
antidote to division.
