Description
In a society increasingly divided along political, theological, cultural, and racial lines, lines that we have drawn to separate “us” from “them,” the Christian church is not exempt. How can we respond to the division in the world around us when we are too often polarized ourselves? Pastor and scholar Matthew Tennant offers scriptural insights for developing strategies that will equip people of faith to cross the lines in meaningful dialog within their congregations and in the communities where they live, work, and minister to others.
