In a society that is increasingly marked by apathy, division, and
moral incompetence, how might Christians set about working with
others in such a way as to begin to address those challenges that
seem to overwhelm our capacity to respond? In Radical Friendship,
Ryan Newson argues that the often-neglected practice of communal
discernment provides a path to faithful political engagement that
is worthy of reconsideration, especially given its ability to
create authentic friendships both within and beyond the church.
Such friendships, Newson maintains, are capable of fostering a type
of competence in people who engage the practice that can counteract
those social, political forces that are antithetical to
competence's formation.Uniquely, Newson explores the contours of
communal discernment as a practice that is especially relevant to
Christians seeking radical democratic alternatives to political
liberalism. Communal discernment is shown to be capable of
generating conscientious participation in grassroots politics;
additionally, this practice enables Christians to enjoy reciprocal,
discerning relationships with people of differing convictional
communities. Indeed, communal discernment turns out to be capable
of preparing Christians to recognize and celebrate analogues to the
practice in the world at large.
