Christ in crisis

why we need to reclaim Jesus
Jim Wallis ; foreword by Bishop Michael Curry
Book - 2019

In Christ in Crisis Jim Wallis provides a path of spiritual healing and solidarity to help us heal the divide separating Americans today. Building on “Reclaiming Jesus”<U+2014>the declaration he and other church leaders wrote in May 2018 to address America<U+2019>s current crisis<U+2014>Wallis argues that Christians have become disconnected from Jesus and need to revisit their spiritual foundations. By pointing to eight questions Jesus asked or is asked, Wallis provides a means to measure whether we are truly aligned with the moral and spiritual foundations of our Christian faith. “Christians have often remembered, re-discovered, and returned to their obedient discipleship of Jesus Christ<U+2014>both personal and public<U+2014>in times of trouble. It<U+2019>s called coming home,” Wallis reminds us. While he addresses the dividing lines and dangers facing our nation, the religious and cultural commentator<U+2019>s focus isn<U+2019>t politics; it<U+2019>s faith. As he has done throughout his career, Wallis offers comfort, empathy, and a practical roadmap. Christ in Crisis is a constructive field guide for all those involved in resistance and renewal initiatives in faith communities in the post-2016 political context.
