Theology

“Those who stand on the sidelines and proclaim what is wrong with white, Protestant Christianity in America today are a dime a dozen. W. Travis McMaken does something different and better. In this book, he introduces the highly influential yet sadly forgotten Protestant figure of Helmut Gollwitzer and makes a compelling case for why we must recover Gollwitzer’s dialectical and political theology now. The gift of this book is the wise and patient way it facilitates critical reflection on precisely why and how the church must participate in God’s radical kingdom work of transforming the social and political structures of our world. This is a challenging and hopeful book that answers the questions my students are asking!”
