More About This Book

Overview

Approximately one year after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the White House released a document intended to change the course of American history. That document, The National Security Strategy for the United States of America, charted a more assertive and unilateral foreign and military policy for the world's remaining and sole superpower. Anxious about Empire offers a response to the "new American empire." This collection of essays by ecclesially committed theologians, political theorists, biblical scholars, and pastors addresses issues such as the transnational nature of the church, loving neighbors in a globalized world, the use of scripture in imperial rhetoric, the current challenges of pastoral leadership, and Christian worship as a response to global violence. Anxious about Empire provides an outstanding resource for the church in these perplexing times. A guide not only for our current historical moment, this book has long-term relevancy for thinking through a Christian response to government and empire.
