Jesus and the Powers, with Mike Bird
Description
What has God to do with politics? What has the kingdom to do with the cross? And what does it mean to work for a kingdom whose origin lies beyond creation, but whose destiny lies within it?
Join Sam Fornecker for a conversation with Mike Bird, deputy principal and lecturer in theology at Ridley College in Melbourne, Australia, about insights unpacked in Mike's new book with NT Wright, entitled Jesus and the Powers: Christian Political Witness in an Age of Totalitarian Terror and Dysfunctional Democracies (Zondervan, 2024).
For more on this week's conversation, see Mike Bird's Religious Freedom in a Secular Age (Zondervan, 2022) and Tom Wright's The Day the Revolution Began: Reconsidering the Meaning of Jesus's Crucifixion (HarperOne, 2018).
