Beskrivning
A Bold Call to Recover the Cross in a Confused AgePilgrim Politics by Simon Jooste is a compelling and provocative exploration of faith, power, and the Christian life in a politically charged world. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Reformation theology, and contemporary cultural analysis, this book challenges readers to rethink the relationship between church, state, and personal belief.Rather than chasing cultural dominance or retreating into private spirituality, Jooste calls Christians to embrace a cruciform identity—one shaped by suffering, humility, and hope under Christ’s twofold reign.Why this book matters:Reclaims the Apostle Paul’s “theology of the cross” as the heart of authentic Christianity Exposes modern distortions of faith—from nationalism to social justice activism Bridges theology and real-world politics with clarity and depth Draws on rich Reformation insights, especially from Martin Luther Speaks to today’s global church, with powerful reflections from South Africa For pastors, theologians, and thoughtful believers alike, Pilgrim Politics offers a fresh, challenging vision: a church that resists worldly power and rediscovers its true calling as a pilgrim people.This is not just a book—it’s a call to faithful witness in an age of confusion.

”Jooste covers a lot of ground, but in a page-turning way. However, he does not just relate the bad news; he points a biblical way forward that is as deep as our complicity with the powers of this age. I heartily recommend this work!“Michael Horton(J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California, Escondido, California)”... Simon Jooste paints a compelling biblical picture of the church—a gathered, dual-citizen community of weak and suffering pilgrims destined for heavenly glory. “Pete Smuts(Professor of New Testament, The Bible Institute of South Africa, Cape Town, South Africa)”At a time when the church is tempted by nationalism on the right and cultural Marxism on the left, Simon Jooste offers a timely and compelling call to recover our primary allegiance to Christ.“Antonio Coppola(Academic Dean, Mukhanyo Theological College, Pretoria, South Africa)”Moving past the triumphalist who wields doctrine for political gain and the postmodern who co-opts faith to elevate the unencumbered self, Jooste thoughtfully maps the only faithful pathway forward: that of the crucified Christ.“Dr. James Berry(Chair of the Department of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry, West Virginia University School of Medicine, Morgantown, West Virginia)”Despite complaints about imperialism, colonialism, and Western hegemony, Simon Jooste's provocative critique of South African Protestant theology reveals the West's ongoing dominance even in the ideas most designed to liberate indigenous and oppressed peoples from their alleged Western oppressors. Jooste may not convince all readers, but he shows clearly that those early modern ideas have much to offer in a post-modern world. “D. G. Hart(Professor of History, Hillsdale College, Michigan)
