Synopsis Although Jesus reportedly said, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's," author Shane Claiborne (founder of the Christian group the Simple Way) takes the position that our country would be better off if we kept some of the values and tenets of Christianity alive in our political lives, too. Lest anyone mistake Claiborne for a right-wing fundamentalist, he is a proponent of simple, green communal living, and charitable works that promote peace and compassion. This thoughtful book, written with theologian Chris Haw, will provoke meaningful discussions in church groups and dinner tables all across the country.

Publisher's Note A radical manifesto to awaken the Christian political imagination 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 peculiar politic of the church as a people "set apart" from this world.
