Becoming a Christian in Christendom

About this book

"How might one live the Christian faith within a culture that idealizes and privileges Christianity while also relativizing it and making it redundant? Arguing for a reconceptualization of the theology of the cross and radical communal practices, Jason A. Mahn explores some pervasive dangers of America's new Christendom and provocatively imagines alternatives to conventional Christianity-alternatives whereby the church embodies an alternative politic, commits to cruciform non-violence, appreciates gifts by giving them away, and knows its boundaries well enough to learn from those on the other side".
