| Summary: | If our book, Resident Aliens, has struck a chord, it is because it is part of a symphony. More than needing “great theologians” the church needs the renewal of intelligible theological discourse for “anyone,” the kind of discourse a community does. That comes as the church awakens from comfortable life as a civilizational religion and as Christians recover their status as “resident aliens.” The task is to disengage from the Constantinian habits that have led us to confuse America with God's salvation. Where the book strikes a chord, we hope it is the chord of challenge to leave behind past forms of unfaithfulness and live adventurously. |
