Description
The Christian life is meant to be a 'cross-shaped'
life. Everything we do is affected by the work of Jesus accomplished on the cross, but many Christians have forgotten the cross-shaped nature of Christianity and are instead being wooed by a vision for political transformation. Pilgrim Politics is a work of retrieval, grounded in Martin Luther's theology of the cross, which aims to call Christians of all stripes to live authentic, cross-shaped lives in every sphere of their life.
