Reviews

""Everyone is political. The problem is that few of us have openly sought to think through why we believe what we do. Luke Goble does a great job of joining Scripture with our emotionally charged political ideas in order to honor Christ. This is a much-needed tool in a time when so many seem to lack disciplined discernment."" --Chuck Bomar, Pastor, Colossae Church, Portland; author of Serving Local Schools: Bring Christ's Compassion to the Core of Your Community ""Drawing from a wide array of sources and academic disciplines, Goble lays a strong foundation for 'debating, negotiating, and pursuing the good of a particular community' (his definition of 'political'). . . . Those wanting to learn how to think about politics and how to embody Christian virtue will find a most valuable resource."" --Steven Tracy, Professor of Theology and Ethics, Phoenix Seminary and co-author of Forever and Always: The Art of Intimacy ""Luke Goble has been my favorite conversation partner on faith and politics. At a time when America is divided​ as ever, I'm so glad this book can now share his insights​ with the world. Worshiping Politics mines the riches of Christian tradition, in conversation with modern social science, to give us not quick fixes or cheap answers to our ​intractable political problems, but rather vibrant ​paradigms and ways of thinking for how followers of Jesus can justly embody our proclamation that he is Lord in the public life of the world."" --Joshua Ryan Butler, Pastor, Imago Dei, Portland; author of The Skeletons in God's Closet and The Pursuing God
