Christians are citizens of a completely different political regime:
the kingdom of God. As patriots of another homeland, living in
whatever country we find ourselves as alien citizens, what is our
role in society and what are our obligations in the political
arena? This issue of Plough Quarterly fleshes out an active,
constructive, countercultural vision for the church today.
In this issue:
- Plough asks Benedict Option author Rod Dreher about Donald Trump,
religious liberty, and Christian community.
- Eberhard Arnold introduces a young storm trooper to the church’s
dangerous politics.
- Resident Aliens author Will Willimon applies Arnold’s message to
our own historical moment.
- Was Thomas More’s Utopia a pipe dream or a blueprint for actual
communities?
- A descendant of farmers questions Wendell Berry’s agrarian
idyll.
- Recent Middle Eastern converts risk their lives to follow
Christ.
- A naturalized American finds herself at war with her
homeland.
- A photojournalist asks immigrants what peace means to them.
- Is T. S. Eliot’s vision of a Christian society a lost cause?
- Jason Landsel looks at the legacy of Joe Strummer and punk
rock.
Then there’s new poetry, book reviews, a children’s story, and art
by William Blake, Brigitta Racz, Zhu Jiuyang, Christina Maendel,
Bill Jacklin, and Neil Welliver.
Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people
eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you
in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to
help you put Jesus’ message into practice and find common cause
with others.
