About Christ in Crisis
In Christ in Crisis, Jim Wallis argues that our cultural and political crises stem, in part, from how the American church has become disconnected from the teachings of Jesus Christ. Wallis’s book poses eight radical questions central to Jesus’s teaching which can help us determine whether we are thinking and acting “in Jesus’s name.” “Christians have often remembered, re-discovered, and returned to their obedient discipleship of Jesus Christ—both personal and public—in times of trouble. It’s called coming home,” Wallis reminds us. Christ in Crisis is a constructive field guide for all those involved in resistance and renewal initiatives in faith communities in the post-2016 political context. (source: sojo.net)
