Against Christianity by Peter J Leithart
How could a conservative Christian-an ordained minister with a beard, no less-be against not only Christianity, but theology, sacraments, and ethics as well? Yet that is the stance Peter Leithart takes in this provocative theological bricolage. Seeking to rethink evangelical notions of culture, church, and state, Leithart offers a series of short essays, aphorisms, and parables that challenge the current dichotomies that govern both Christian and non- Christian thinking about church and state, the secular and the religious. But his argument isn't limited to being merely against. Leithart reveals a much larger vision of Christian society, defined by the stories, symbols, rituals, and rules of a renewed community-the city of God.Peter J.Leithart (PhD, University of Cambridge) is president of Theopolis Institute in Birmingham, Alabama, and adjunct senior fellow of theology and literature at New Saint Andrews College. He is also a former pastor. He is the author of several publications, including the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible's Traces of the Trinity, 1 & 2 Kings, and Athanasius in the Foundations of Theological Exegesis and Christian Spirituality series. He's also a Touchstone contributing editor and a regular blogger at firstthings.com.
