Timely and provocative, this book argues that the church can serve as the locus for political resistance against the deadening forces of empire and contribute to a radically democratic future. It combines astute political analysis and prophetic visions of Christianity, and takes into consideration race, gender, class, and violence. I highly recommend it. --Kwok Pui-lan, Dean's Professor of Systematic Theology, Candler School of Theology, Emory University Anyone who wants to understand our world today should read this compelling and beautifully written book. Eggemeier constructs a dynamic and nuanced conversation among an extraordinary range of the most insightful contemporary political theorists and political theologies. The result of this subtle and thoughtful analysis is a clearer understanding of the political dynamics of our post-Trump world, as well as a genuinely alternative path forward for those Christians wishing to resist our current, death-dealing empire. --Mary Doak, Professor of Theology and Religious Studies, University of San Diego
