Reimagining Biblical Politics What Scripture Says About Public Life and Why It Matters Michael J. Rhodes Foreword by Carmen Joy Imes This book invites us to rediscover the startling, strange, beautiful, and often-neglected world of biblical politics and to imagine together how the Bible might transform our political witness in the world. “Rhodes gallops from one end of the Bible to the other at an exhilarating pace. One of the most exciting and trustworthy biblical theologians currently at work, Rhodes offers not prescribed choices but rather guidelines for discern- ment of a variety of faithful responses to the text as read and lived out in community. Practical exegesis such as this keeps the Word of God alive in the church.” —Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School “This is a timely and much-needed book as political division and even political idolatry pervade countries and churches.” —Michael J. Gorman, St. Mary’s Seminary & University
