About the Book

A leading conservative thinker explores the political principles of Christ's life and teachings as revealed in the New Testament--and their implications for the modern American political landscape.

Review Quotes

"Jesusian politics dare to propose an ideal to be striven for: a world without enemies--a vision that Europe is at last, after centuries of turmoil, struggling to construct on its own territory. This book makes one think again, and more deeply." - --Michael Novak, author of Washington's God

"Tod Lindberg has performed something of a miracle: At a moment when the role of faith in politics is a hugely divisive matter, he offers a clear, careful and exciting analysis of Jesus' political teachings that will earn this book respect and attention across all our political boundaries. And Lindberg reminds us that so many of the moral commitments we take to be 'modern' and 'advanced' owe far more than we realize to the power of the ideas offered by a man of humble origins from Nazareth." - E.J. Dionne, author of Why American's Hate Politics
