Sinopse

How should Christians faithfully engage with politics in an increasingly polarized and complex society?
Faithful Politics by Miranda Zapor Cruz offers a thoughtful and balanced road map for navigating this challenging question. Rather than prescribing easy answers or simplistic checklists, this book invites readers into a reflective exploration of ten distinct approaches to Christian political engagement, providing meaningful tools for deeper understanding.
In this book Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz also provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.
In Faithful Politics, you'll find

- Thorough Scholarship: Presents ten distinct approaches to politics, ranging from separatist to dominionist and more
- A Balanced Presentation: Offers a nonpartisan perspective while addressing strengths and weaknesses
- Scriptural and Theological Insights: Establishes guiding principles grounded in Scripture to help shape faithful political participation
Cruz observes that in the United States Christians with shared faith convictions can often reach differing political conclusions. However, Scripture and theology provide guiding principles that shape our thinking and remind us that our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God. Faithful Politics invites readers to learn from Christians of the past as we discern how to be salt and light in our own time and place.

    'the song soil sweat of it knowing nothing ofa binary bondage a bountiful mess of myself everything under the sun is changing all thetime all my skin soft lovers flocking to the river'
    Olivia Douglass' new pamphlet takes us into the shape-shifting experiences of young selfhood, family and what it means to be between worlds. Douglass' poetry is like a strong shot of the good stuff, an irresistible introduction to this multi-talented artist.
    'The poems of Unruly Blood are careful, dangerous, sparse; full. Each space held within it sings as much as its words do, its every phrase simmers first before spilling over with untold possibility.'  Victoria Adukwei Bulley
    'An artist of the body, in Unruly Blood, Douglass transmits physical sensation to the page with rapturous fluidity. Expressive of the joy and pain of every kind of love, their work sings with exciting originality.' Erica Wagner
    'Olivia Douglass is a new, clear voice and these are deep, intriguing, dangerous poems.' Brian Eno

    In many ways, we've been telling the same stories, over and over, for the last 2300 years. This book will show you why, and how you can do it too. 
    For centuries, dramatic writers have relied on Aristotelian principles to write their stories for the screen and stage—the same stories you stream and watch today. But for the first time ever, the timeless principles from Aristotle’s esteemed Poetics have been adapted for novelists. 
    With succinct clarity, novelist Douglas Vigliotti shows you exactly how to write a novel using tried-and-true principles that have been used since antiquity to tell great stories. These principles are the foundation on which any story can be written. Whether you are writing your first or tenth novel, Aristotle for Novelists has something to offer any serious writer of fiction. It is both a challenge to writers to simplify their craft and a no-frills, impassioned outcry for novelists everywhere.
