Political Visions and Illusions by David Koyzis

A searing analysis of various political ideologies from a Christian perspective. If you want to understand the contemporary ideas underlying our politically polarized age – start here.

The Bible In Politics by Richard Bauckham

One of the most prolific Bible scholars in the 21st century takes a closer look at how the Biblical writers envision politics. Less guidebook on contemporary issues, more resource for reading Scripture, Bauckham will show how the timeless wisdom of the Bible can transform our contemporary political imagination.

Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy

A New York Times best-seller. This is the biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a modern martyr whose Christian faith inspired his resistance to Nazism in Germany. His story stands as a beacon for all Christians confronting injustice.

Strength To Love

“Only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the evils of the world in a humble and loving spirit.”

This collection of sermons and writings, some composed in prison, put King’s powerful Christian rhetoric on display. Though personally troubled, his prophetic witness for justice is an example for all Christians to follow.

The City of God

The greatest work of political theology in the history of the Church.

Written after the sack of Rome in 410 CE, Augustine responds to accusations that Christianity weakened the Roman Empire. He argues that worldly kingdoms are transient, while true justice are found in a life aligned with God’s will. We assure you: these 912 pages are worth the investment.
