The Disparate Ones: Essays On Being in the World but Not of the World

Duren, Marty

Paperback

$9.95 $7.46 Save 25%

Ranging topics from food to war to abortion to political parties to using the word "impactful," author and public theologian, Marty Duren, addresses how Christians should understand themselves in this world. What does it mean to be "in the world but not of the world"? How can Christians, especially in America, address the overwhelming influence of politics on the faith?

With biblical fidelity, cultural clarity, and unusual profundity, Duren covers a broad swath of cultural ground to show what it might look like to Christians to successfully hold the tension of living in two worlds.

In prose at that same time illuminating, scripturally careful, compassionate, and challenging, Duren addresses some of the major concerns of our day, showing that the life lived in Christ should not fall to being a mere rubber-stamp for politicals winds, whether prevailing or not. Instead, those who follow Jesus Christ should look to the city with foundations whose builder and maker is God. This book will help Christians better inhabit our cities on Earth without giving up heavenly treasure for worldly kingdoms. Living in this world requires nothing less.
