Jesus and the Powers

In Jesus and the Powers, N. T. Wright and Michael F. Bird urge Christians to examine their role amid today's political turbulence. The authors explore whether Christians should withdraw from politics to preserve their prophetic voice or engage actively to influence power structures. Blending political theology, biblical insights, and church history, the book advocates for a kingdom-oriented political engagement that challenges autocracy and nationalism. Through reflections on contemporary issues, including global conflicts and political unrest, the authors emphasize the importance of advancing Jesus's kingdom in a fractured world.
