The Kingdom, the Power, & the Glory

American Christians have not been immune to the anger, division, and fear that characterize this political moment. For many, the prospect of another election year is a source of dread or of numb exhaustion; others have responded with aggression or defensiveness. Reflecting on our recent history, what can we learn from the varied responses? How can we proceed with wisdom, and a Christlike witness, in this turbulent political age?
In his new book The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism, journalist Tim Alberta speaks to these questions through the stories of his encounters with believers across the country, and through his own experience as a believer and the son of a pastor.
We hosted an Online Conversation with Tim Alberta on February 23 to discuss what faithful political engagement looks like in a time of division and fear.

While never hugely popular, Evangelicals were once generally regarded a positive force in American society and culture. Now, they're despised for their wickedness.
