SEISMOS: Christian Citizenship in a Post-Christian West

By Dr David Landrum

Citizenship is changing in the West, and as the crucible for the relationship between Christians and the authorities, this is where the rubber hits the road for public witness. Most Christians are unaware of, or ill-prepared for what is happening, why and how it is happening, and what it means. This book seeks to help believers to better understand, resist and subvert the unfolding changes. Citizenship is about the relationship between the governed and the governing, between the people and the powers. Through the bible, theology and Church history, Christians have made a vast contribution to the ideal of citizenship. But, with the ascendancy of secular ideologies, it is fundamentally changing, and the trajectory is distinctly inauspicious. Indeed, with enormous legal and cultural shifts on issues of morality, identity, relationships and authority now becoming mainstream in the West, it is clear that momentous challenges lay ahead for all who hold to a biblical worldview (and an accompanying biblical anthropology). Most Christians are either oblivious to, or bewildered or intimidated by the scale and pace of this 'cultural climate change'. This book is written to help them to better understand, resist and subvert these unfolding changes, and will make an important contribution to Christian public witness and influence, especially in relation to the freedoms to speak and live the gospel. Importantly - and uniquely - it connects the spiritual with the ideological. The book aims to support Christians from across different denominations, streams and traditions who seek to adhere to the historic authority of scripture, to understand the times and to know what to do.
