Maeve Sherlock - What theology of government can serve us well today?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it feel like to exercise power as a Christian? What's the Bible got to say about government and power? What's the vocation of speaking truth to power? How does our identity as a child of God shape our engagement with politics? What difference does it make to pray for political opponents?
