Description
According to Eugene Cho, Christians should never profess blind loyalty to a party. Any party. But they should engage with politics, because politics inform policies which impact people.
In Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk: A Christians Guide to Engaging Politics, Cho encourages readers to remember that hope arrivednot in a politician, system, or great nationbut in the person of Jesus Christ.
With determination and heart, Cho urges readers to stop vilifying those they disagree withespecially the vulnerableand asks Christians to follow Jesus and reflect His teachings. In this book that integrates the pastoral, prophetic, practical, and personal, readers will be inspired to stay engaged, have integrity, listen to the hurting, and vote their convictions.
When we stay in the Scriptures, pray for wisdom, and advocate for the vulnerable, our love for politics, ideology, philosophy, or even theology, stop superseding our love for God and neighbor.
