As a result, it's easy for Christians to grow disillusioned with civic engagement or fall back into tribal extremes. This state of affairs has damaged Christian public witness and divided the church. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors of this book represent the AND Campaign, which exists to educate and organise Christians for faithful civic and cultural engagement.

In simple, understandable language, they lay out the biblical case for political engagement and help Christians navigate the complex world of politics with integrity, from political messaging and the politics of race to protests, advocacy, and more.
