Shane Claiborne est un conférencier et activiste de premier plan dont l'écriture est animée par un profond engagement envers la grâce et le désir de vivre "comme si Jésus avait pris au sérieux ses paroles". Son œuvre défend les marginalisés et s'oppose à l'injustice, ce qui le conduit à plaider pour les sans-abri et à remettre en question la peine de mort. La voix littéraire de Claiborne explore ce que signifie suivre authentiquement les enseignements de Jésus dans un monde en proie aux conflits et aux inégalités. Il appelle les lecteurs à une vie de profonde compassion et d'action concrète.
In the midst of divisive conversations in the Church and around the dinner table about what it means to be 'pro-life,' Rethinking Life by Shane Claiborne offers a biblical, spiritual, and historical foundation for why God calls us to value lives both born and unborn as we look toward the future with hope.
Jesus for President is a radical manifesto to awaken the Christian political imagination, reminding us that our ultimate hope lies not in partisan political options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the peculiar politic of the church as a people 'set apart' from this world.
Kompromisslose Experimente in Sachen Nächstenliebe
Wie lebt man als Christ? Diese Frage führt Shane Claiborne auf ungewöhnliche Wege. Er reist nach Kalkutta und begleitet Mutter Teresa zu den Ärmsten der Armen - und dort begegnet er Gott auf ganz neue Weise. Seine ""Bekehrung zur radikalen Nachfolge"" ruiniert seine beruflichen Pläne, führt ihn in die Innenstadtghettos an die Seite der Vergessenen der Wohlstandsgesellschaft und zu Beginn des Irakkriegs 2003 als Friedensaktivist nach Bagdad. Der ""Extremist der Nächstenliebe"" erzählt eine Geschichte voller Leidenschaft, Kreativität und eines Glaubens, der durch kleine Taten der Liebe die Welt verändert.
The authors aim to evoke the political imagination of Christians, depicting a church that lives by different rules than those of society's political and economic ideologies. "Jesus for President" offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of church and power, encouraging readers to realign their faith practices with the teachings of Jesus.
Many of us find ourselves caught somewhere between unbelieving activists and inactive believers. We can write a check to feed starving children or hold signs in the streets and feel like we’ve made a difference without ever encountering the faces of the suffering masses. In this book, Shane Claiborne describes an authentic faith rooted in belief, action, and love, inviting us into a movement of the Spirit that begins inside each of us and extends into a broken world. Shane’s faith led him to dress the wounds of lepers with Mother Teresa, visit families in Iraq amidst bombings, and dump $10,000 in coins and bills on Wall Street to redistribute wealth. Shane lives out this revolution each day in his local neighborhood, an impoverished community in North Philadelphia, by living among the homeless, helping local kids with homework, and “practicing resurrection” in the forgotten places of our world. Shane’s message will comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable . . . but will also invite us into an irresistible revolution. His is a vision for ordinary radicals ready to change the world with little acts of love.
