Publisher's Description
In a nation crumbling under the weight of bitterness, where government is the people's god, the way through is neither legislation nor activism but loving the least loveable. A study of internet influence, conflict theory, and nineteenth-century wisdom reveals that people do not have to solve their disagreements if they can relearn how to love their enemies as Christ commanded. This book highlights courageous men and women of faith from biblical times up through the present who obeyed this commandment, the Scriptures they followed, and how they managed it so that people today too might learn to substitute love instead of bitterness.

“This magnificently researched and deeply inspiring book makes a number of breakthroughs. Most importantly, Kohn addresses a pastoral problem which everyone can recognize: the growing bitterness present in our culture. In addition to exploring scholarship about social media, victimhood, the displacement of religion by politics, social identity, and ressentiment, he focuses constructively on what Christians can and must do: compassionately love our enemies, including through forgiveness and practicing gratitude, with an eye to eschatological hope.”
