Disciples and Citizens
Graham CrayPaperback 2007-10-19
A biblical look at how Christians can live with two passports: in this world and for the next. How should we live as dual citizens: citizens both of the kingdom of God and of our nation? How much should we involve ourselves in society and public life?
Many of us find integrated, whole-life discipleship very difficult. It is easier to live, not so much a double life as a dualistic one, where faith is a personal matter with little impact on work and other spheres of life.
Graham Cray shows that there are profound gospel reasons for taking seriously both our national life and our call to be Christian citizens. A nation's social health is a matter of Christian action and concern because it matters to God.
'Graham Cray has long been known as a perceptive watcher of culture. In this important and accessible book, he skilfully weaves together social science, biblical analysis and prophetic wisdom in offering a much-needed vision of public discipleship.'
Dr Graham Tomlin is the Dean of St Mellitus College, and Principal of St Paul's Theological Centre
'An excellent book: well researched, tellingly illustrated and powerfully but lovingly argued.'
Revd Julian Hardyman is Pastor of Eden Baptist Church, Cambridge
