Jesus’ politics
Debates about abortion often become debates about Christian politics more generally.
What does it mean to engage politically as a Christian? How should we practice our faith in public, especially when it comes to complex, controversial topics? Why is it that Christianity is so political in the first place?
A lot of these questions come down to how we interpret Jesus’ message and life on earth. Why did God become human, and what does it mean for Jesus to be both fully human and fully divine? What exactly did Jesus teach and what does that mean for us today?
This section explores how Christians across the political spectrum have interpreted scripture to answer those questions.
