Anti-Christ Politics vs. the Politics of Jesus
Jim Wallis

This column explores the themes in Jim Wallis' new
book Christ in Crisis: Why We Need to Reclaim Jesus
(HarperOne), available Sept. 24. 

In the lead up to the 2020 election we're being told that our
primary choice is between different candidates and political
parties. I believe the real choice is something deeper and more
urgent.

I believe the real choice is between the politics of Jesus and
anti-Christ politics.

This choice came into clearer view in recent weeks as #antichrist
trended on Twitter for nearly 24 hours in response to
presidential tweets.  And in response to the mass-shooting
in El Paso, perpetuated by a white nationalist who invoked
Christian theology, evangelical leader Beth Moore said in a
tweet.

So what is it about this concept of "anti-Christ" that has
people reclaiming the language in this moment? Or, perhaps more
importantly, what is it about this moment that has people
invoking it once more?

Learn about Jim Wallis' book and PRE-ORDER for a limited time
here.
