A Faith of Our Own
As we begin Q in this historic city, we’ve decided to take a moment to look back on how Christians have engaged the public square in the last 50 years and trace the trajectory of where the movement is headed. Is the Religious Right’s influence waning as so many have argued, or is it only making a comeback after a short sabbatical? Does the Religious Left represent a new generation of Christians, or is there something different? Jonathan Merritt describes what he believes is the new posture of Christian political engagement.
Jonathan is a faith and culture writer who has published over 300 articles in respected outlets such as USA Today, The Christian Science Monitor, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, BeliefNet, Christianity Today, The Huffington Post, and CNN.com. He is author of Green Like God: Unlocking the Divine Plan for Our Planet (2010), and the forthcoming A Faith of Our Own: Following Jesus Beyond the Culture Wars (April 2012). As a respected Christian voice, he has been interviewed by ABC World News, NPR, CNN, PBS, Fox News, The New York Times and The Washington Post. He holds a Master of Divinity from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Master of Theology from Emory University’s Candler School of Theology. Jonathan resides outside of Atlanta, GA where he serves and teaches at Cross Pointe Church.
