Faith and politics can get so intertwined. The history of Christianity in the U.S., the churches response to political agendas, and Christian Nationalism all play a part in today’s cultural milieu. Christians seeking diligently to get it right, can come to different conclusions. In this episode we discuss seeking a nonpartisan, Jesus centered approach to politics.
Miranda Zapor Cruz, author of “Faithful Politics: Ten Approaches to Christian Citizenship and Why It Matters” is professor of historical theology at Indiana Wesleyan University. She holds a PhD in religion, politics, and society from Baylor University's J. M. Dawson Institute of Church-State Studies and an MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary. Miranda’s expertise in history and theology are helpful in our quest to navigate politics in a God honoring way.
In this episode we discuss Christian Nationalism, the U.S.’s founding by Christians, the U.S. as a close expression of the Kingdom of God, and many more current subjects. It’s an exciting journey through history and into our present with practical tips for building our theological understanding of faith and politics.
