Publisher's Description
Longtime political analyst and commentator Tod Lindberg goes beyond punditry to address how Jesus's words and teachings—once a radical set of ideas—have come to define our concept of government and our vision for society.

“Jesusian politics dare to propose an ideal to be striven for: a world without enemies—a vision that Europe is at last, after centuries of turmoil, struggling to construct on its own territory. This book makes one think again, and more deeply.”
“Tod Lindberg has performed something of a miracle: At a moment when the role of faith in politics is a hugely divisive matter, he offers a clear, careful and exciting analysis of Jesus’ political teachings that will earn this book respect and attention across all our political boundaries. And Lindberg reminds us that so many of the moral commitments we take to be ‘modern’ and ‘advanced’ owe far more than we realize to the power of the ideas offered by a man of humble origins from Nazareth.”
“You will never read the Bible or hear a sermon the same way after reading The Political Teachings of Jesus.”
“A fascinating analysis...”
“Whether you’re a Republican, Democrat, independent, or even an agnostic, you will appreciate this book for its fairness and thoughtfulness.”
“Tod Lindberg has given us a plausible, this-worldly Jesus...It’s a significant achievement--bold, thoughtful, and beautifully written.”
