Why Christians should engage with politics -- Because the Bible is bigger than politics -- Because we are more radical than we think -- Because we need to show up and sit at the table -- Because God's kingdom is physical as well as spiritual -- Because Jesus didn't turn away but broke his heart for us -- Because faith is not private and Christians have always engaged -- III. How Christians could engage with politics -- By paying attention and praying -- By being the one who shows up -- By daring to pick a side -- By loving our neighbor and standing firm -- By keeping the eternal perspective in mind -- Conclusion : don't panic but don't duck out -- Appendix A : why 'liberlism' should not be a dirty word -- Appendix B: who's who : the nuts and bolts of the people.
