Conversations in a Crisis: Part I: The Good and the Right (with Rev Benjamin Miller)

~ Alastair Roberts ~ 9 Comments

Part I: The Good and the Right
Part II: Improving Our Deliberation
Part III. Reforming Our Political Imaginaries
Part IV: On Submission to Government
Part V: Trust, Suspicion, and Authority
Part VI: Considering Resistance
Part VII: Models for Resistance
Part VIII: Disagreement in the Body of Christ
Part IX: The Experts and the Rulers
Part X: Living Within Our Limits

Faced with our challenge of remaining faithful within and addressing our various contemporary societal crises with wisdom, Christians and churches are fracturing over our differing approaches and postures. My friend Ben Miller suggested that we have a series of conversations, to help us to pursue greater clarity on the principles, virtues, duties, and practices that can equip Christians to meet such difficult times with prudence, insight, and courage.
