“This new political movement [the early Christian movement] would offer the world something at which kings and rulers would shake their heads: love of enemies, practices of reconciliation, sharing of wealth, honoring of marriage, renunciation of our varied practices of greed and lust, and an embrace of all the practices of life and mercy and kindness.”
Lee C. Camp, Scandalous Witness: A Little Political Manifesto for Christians. Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2020, page 20.
