George Kalantzis (PhD, Northwestern University) is associate professor of theology and director of The Wheaton Center for Early Christian Studies at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. He is the author of Caesar and the Lamb: Early Christian Attitudes on War and Military Service. Gregory W. Lee (Ph.D., Duke University) is assistant professor of theology at Wheaton College. His forthcoming book, "Today When You Hear His Voice": Scripture, the Covenants, and the People of God, explores the dynamics of scriptural authority in Augustine, Calvin and the epistle to the Hebrews.
"Wheaton College professors Kalantzis and Lee pose a provocative
question: 'Are Christians today anything more than an interest
group?' In light of a 2013 Pew report showing the U.S. on the verge
of becoming a minority Protestant country, twelve prominent
theologians respond. From the salty Stanley Hauerwas to the precise
Mark Noll, each gnaws on an ancient bone: since the outlawed Jesus
Movement became legitimate under Constantine, what are we to make
of Christians and politics?"
*Publishers Weekly, March 10, 2014*
"Prophetic and pastoral, this book offers a fresh look at a crucial
and contested dimension of the Christian life."
*Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology 69, no. 4*
