    What Are Christians For?

    Life Together at the End of the World

    by Jake Meador
    Foreword by Karen Swallow Prior

    What does a Christian political witness look like in our day?

    Politics ought to be defined by fidelity to the common good of all the members of society.

What goes missing is a deep sense of personhood—the belief that all humans are unique subjects with inherent worth and the right to self-determination in authentic communion with others.
