‘The world is awash in terror, tyranny, and trauma, divisions and
despair, not just in the west, but in Asia, Africa, and the
Americas. Our world seems dangerously combustible, due to financial
crises, pandemics, increasing injustices and inequalities,
democratic chaos, geo-political upheaval, wars and rumours of more
wars to come.’ In Jesus and the Powers Tom Wright and Michael F.
Bird join forces to address the pressing question: How can
Christians engage with the turbulent politics of our times while
remaining true to the teaching and example of Jesus? With wisdom
and clarity, Wright and Bird present a compelling case for
Christians to embody a counter-cultural witness that upholds the
biblical ideals of justice, mercy and truth while vigorously
opposing oppressive political schemes based on autocracy and
nationalism. Grounded in the transformative message of Jesus and
the apostles, Jesus and the Powers challenges believers to embrace
their role as agents of God's Kingdom by courageously standing
against tyrannical forces wherever they may appear, and by helping
to cultivate flourishing liberal democracies that promote the
freedom, dignity and well-being of all people.
