Exiles: Church in Shadow of Empire, by Dr. Preston Sprinkle

What if we considered ourselves "exiles in Babylon" and turned to Scripture, not political parties, to shape our views? Explore the intersection of faith and politics in Exiles: Church in the Shadow of Empire.

Politics are dividing churches like never before. Dr. Preston Sprinkle reminds us that 1st-century church gatherings were not apolitical, and it also wasn't a place where Christians mounted a Roman flag above a Christian one. Instead, church was a place where God's plan for governing the world was revealed and where anyone could learn what it means to follow His design for human flourishing.

Preston explores why:

• Israel’s exile to Babylon profoundly shaped the political identity of God’s people—and still does today.
• Christians should see themselves as foreigners in the country where they live.
• The gospel of Jesus’ kingdom was politically subversive.
• The church today should view its political identity as fundamentally separate from the empire.
