Summary:
"According to Eugene Cho, Christians should never profess blind loyalty to a party. Any party. But they should engage with
politics
, because
politics
inform policies which impact people. In '
Thou
Shalt
Not Be a
Jerk
: A
Christian
's
Guide
to
Engaging
Politics
,' Cho encourages readers to remember that hope arrived not in a politician, system, or great nation, but in the person of Jesus Christ. With determination and heart, Cho urges readers to stop vilifying those they disagree with, especially the vulnerable, and asks Christians to follow Jesus and reflect His teachings. In this book that integrates the pastoral, prophetic, practical, and personal, readers will be inspired to stay engaged, have integrity, listen to the hurting, and vote their convictions. 'When we stay in the Scriptures, pray for wisdom, and advocate for the vulnerable, our love for
politics
, ideology, philosophy, or even theology, stop superseding our love for God and neighbor.'"
