"In the world but not of it" - an expression that has been
interpreted in a multitude of ways. With the publication of Rod
Dreher's much-debated book The Benedict Option in 2017, the
question of just how the church is to exist "in but not of the
world" is once again on the minds of many. To provide answers true
to the context in which the Western church now finds itself, it is
worth first investigating how the question has been answered in the
past. In determining what to do today, it helps to understand how
we got here in the first place. At the beginning of the fourth
century, people were persecuted for being Christians; by the end of
the fourth century, people were persecuted for not being
Christians. This book is an academic investigation of how three
paradigmatic theologians interpreted this so-called Constantinian
shift: Eusebius of Caesarea (ca. 260-339), Augustine of Hippo
(354-430), and John Howard Yoder (1927-1997). Surprising
similarities between the theology of Eusebius and Yoder become
apparent, and underlying theological structures of how to interpret
what it looks like to be a community that follows Christ are
revealed.
