Publisher's Description
In unKingdom, Mark Van Steenwyk takes a hard look at the ways Christianity has become complicit in imperialism and genocide, particularly in North America. With a blend of humility, wit, and sharp critique, he proposes a prophetic way forward through practices of revolutionary repentance.

“Mark’s book is a new kind of conversion story: not from disbelief to faith, but away from toxic fundamentalism to a healthy, contextually grounded discipleship of the Jesus of the Gospels. I heartily recommend this book for anyone who has struggled to find and follow the authentic Jesus so often hidden behind walls of Christian dogmatic thought and practice.”
“Mark’s eloquent writing and sharp wit invite readers to do serious work as they engage ‘the unKingdom of God.’ As Christians do we actually understand the subversiveness of Jesus’ statement that the poor are blessed? In this age of hyper-capitalism and hate fueling a refugee and climate crisis, followers of Jesus the unKing, must connect the dots. Mark humbly aids us in this effort with his revolutionary book. Don't be surprised if you find yourself disturbed.”
