The Kingdom, The Power and The Glory by Tim Alberta was so good. I learned about a world I didn’t really know and exploring what happens when you forsake moral clarity for temporal power has implications for all believers
Also I thought Alberta was a clown before I read it but like any of us he’s a product of his upbringing and he’s deeply thoughtful in grappling with it
Just got a call from my Dad, who is halfway through the book. A lifelong conservative Evangelical, he called to talk about how his eyes have been opened and how angry and frightened he is. The news needed to come from someone inside that house.
Yes, I was surprised he was reading it. He certainly would not have been open to what someone from outside Evangelicalism, no matter how fact-based or well-argued.
