Zusammenfassung:Blending normative public theology and empirical political science, Nilay Saiya formulates and applies an ethic of Jesus to the realm of global politics. Rejecting conventional theories, he makes the argument that the ethic of Jesus calls for the church to avoid seeking special favor with the state, even as it strives to engage with and uplift the world around it through its prophetic witness. Using global data and case studies, The Global Politics of Jesus examines the paradox of privilege with respect to some of the most important areas in contemporary global politics--violence and persecution, human rights, foreign policy, and peace and reconciliation--and considers its implications for the church itself.
