Jesus And The Powers by N.T. Wright

Christian Political Witness in an Age of Totalitarian Terror and Dysfunctional Democracies

A concise manifesto for Christian public discipleship, this book argues that the New Testament’s proclamation of Jesus’ lordship confronts and reconfigures political, cultural, and spiritual “powers.” Drawing on the Gospels, Paul, and Revelation, it presents a cruciform vision of public witness that resists partisan and nationalist idolatries, calls the church to embody justice, peacemaking, and care for the vulnerable, and grounds social engagement in the hope of the cross and resurrection.
