Engaging with Power and Christology

The discussion revolves around the critical examination of the church's relationship with power through the lens of Jorg Rieger's book, 'Jesus versus Caesar.' This text challenges the church to confront its historical infatuation with power and the implications of a compromised faith, particularly within the context of the American church's political climate during the Trump administration. Rieger posits that the central tenet of Christology involves not only recognizing Jesus' authority but also understanding the call to deep solidarity. This challenge forces a reevaluation of what it means to confess Christ in a world rife with competing claims of power and theological correctness.
