Since 2016, the story has been simple: Christians back President Trump. No matter what. We're here to change the story.An anthology of dissent, Keeping the Faith unites the voices of believers across America who fall outside the narrative-who are re-imagining how the Gospel should intersect our politics. This collection is for anyone who has ever looked at the religious pageantry propping up the Trump administration and said quietly in their heart: This is not my Jesus."The line-up of voices in this important volume speaks strongly to the powerful intersection between fervent faith and political power in America. The missteps of the present cannot continue. As these writers press us to see a new future in Jesus' name, let us examine our own hearts and footsteps and start walking rightly." - Dr. Daniel Harrell, Editor in Chief, Christianity Today"God's spirit is inviting us in this moment in time to consider what the voice of God's people will be. This collection of essays written by practitioners, academics, and activists of faith will equip you to consider the reality of how our political structures and systems impact people. Historical insights and personal narratives will challenge our allegiance and deepen our worship." - Sandra Maria Van Opstal, Executive Director of Chasing Justice"This collection of essays constitutes a compelling witness to the justice claims of the gospel. This wide-ranging testimony presents a host of writers with appropriate measures of passion, indignation, and hope with reference to urgent contemporary issues. The accent on justice powerfully disrupts our all too easy compromises of the gospel, and invites us to be 'woke' in active, transformative ways." - Dr. Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary"Their moving personal stories and probing theological reflection challenge us to let Christ, not surrounding society, be Lord of our politics. Their penetrating, biblically-grounded critique of so much of white evangelicalism will stand as an important historical witness to biblical fidelity at a time of massive white evangelical failure and disobedience." - Dr. Ron Sider, Founder and President Emeritus of Christians for Social Action
