Anotace

On September 20, 2002, approximately one year after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the White House released a document intended to change the course of American history. That document, The National Security Strategy for the Unites States of America, charted a more assertive and unilateral foreign and military policy for the world's remaining and sole superpower. Anxious about Empire, a collection of essays by "ecclesially committed" theologians, political theorists, biblical scholars, and pastors, offers a response to the "new American empire." The contributors - who come from various ecclesial backgrounds, including Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Baptist, and Mennonite - address issues such as the transnational nature of the church, loving neighbors in a globalized world, the use of scripture in imperial rhetoric, the current challenges of pastoral leadership, and Christian worship as a response to global violence. Anxious About Empire provides an outstanding resource for the church in these perplexing times. A guide not only for our current historical moment, this book has long-term relevancy for thinking through a Christian response to government and empire. Ideal for pastors, lay groups, individual Christians, and undergraduate and seminary courses in social ethics or church and culture.
