Addresses the relationship between faith and allegiance, arguing that the ultimate hope of individuals lies not in partisan political options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the politic of the church as a people "set apart" from this world.

Jesus for President

Jonathan Tysick

Visually beautiful, and enjoyable to read. Although I'm not an American, this book challenged me and had me dreaming of a world where the billions of self-proclaiming Christians gave their allegiance to Jesus first and their political states second.

The book is radical, and extremely relevant in today's political landscape. Definitely influenced by liberation theology which led to interpreting Jesus' death (and the entire Biblical narrative) in ways I wish were a tad more nuanced. I'm glad that I read this!

A real eye-opener for me regarding the way we as American Christians don't always practice what we preach regarding love, peace, wealth, community, and most notably the "War on Terror."
