Do the church and politics ever go together?
Jesus for President is a radical manifesto--more urgent today than ever--to awaken the Christian political imagination, reminding us that our ultimate hope lies not in partisan political options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the peculiar politic of the church as a people "set apart" from this world.
This collaboration between Shane Claiborne's writing and stories, Chris Haw's reflections and research, and Chico Fajardo-Heflin's 4-color art and design creates lyrical theology that poetically weaves together words and images to sing (rather than dictate) its message.
This one-of-a-kind book includes:
- Messages drawn from biblical theologians
- Lessons from church history
- Examples from modern-day saints and ordinary radicals
- A poetic and illustrative perspective of faith
This book is perfect for those who seek to follow Jesus, rediscover the spirit of the early church, and represent the kingdom of God.
Jesus for President stirs the imagination of what the church could look like if it placed its faith in Jesus instead of Caesar. A fresh look at Christianity and empire, Jesus for President transcends questions of "Should I vote or not?" and "Which candidate?" by thinking creatively about the fundamental issues of faith and allegiance.
Shane Claiborne is a prominent speaker, activist, and bestselling author. He worked with Mother Teresa in Calcutta and founded The Simple Way in Philadelphia. He leads Red Letter Christians, a movement of folks who are committed to living “as if Jesus meant the things he said.” Shane is a champion for grace, which has led him to jail for “good trouble,” and to places like Iraq and Afghanistan to stand against war.
Shane’s books include Jesus for President; Red Letter Revolution; Common Prayer; Follow Me to Freedom; Jesus, Bombs, and Ice Cream; Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers; his classic The Irresistible Revolution; Executing Grace; Beating Guns; and Rethinking Life. His books have been translated into more than a dozen languages.
Shane speaks around the globe at denominational gatherings, festivals, and conferences. His university lectures include Harvard, Princeton, Liberty, Duke, and Notre Dame. His work has appeared in Esquire, Spin, Christianity Today, Newsweek, Time, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, and he has been featured on Fox News, Al Jazeera, CNN, and NPR. In 2023, Shane received The King Center’s Beloved Community Award for Social Justice from Dr. Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King.
Chris Haw is a husband, father, carpenter, and an assistant professor of theology and religious studies at the University of Scranton. He has published various academic articles on political theology and René Girard’s mimetic theory, and he is coauthor of Jesus for President and author of From Willow Creek to Sacred Heart and Monotheism, Intolerance, and the Path to Pluralistic Politics. He created and directs the University of Scranton Prison Education Program.
