Who Will Be a Witness

Igniting Activism for God's Justice, Love, and Deliverance

De: Drew G. I. Hart

Narrado por: Drew G. I. Hart

Churches have begun awakening to social and political injustices, often carried out in the name of Christianity. But once awakened, how will we respond?

Who Will Be a Witness offers a vision for communities of faith to organize for deliverance and justice in their neighborhoods, states, and nation as an essential part of living out the call of Jesus.

Author Drew G. I. Hart provides incisive insights into scripture and history, along with illuminating personal stories, to help us identify how the witness of the church has become mangled by Christendom, white supremacy, and religious nationalism. Hart provides a wide range of options for congregations seeking to give witness to Jesus’ ethic of love for and solidarity with the vulnerable.

At a time when many feel disillusioned and distressed, Hart calls the church to action, offering a way forward that is deeply rooted in the life and witness of Jesus. Dr. Hart’s testimony is powerful, personal, and profound, serving as a compass that points the church to the future and offers us a path toward meaningful social change and a more faithful witness to the way of Jesus.

Great books exist—this is not one of them

Drew G. I. Hart’s Who Will Be a Witness? is not a completely terrible book. There are a few rational thoughts for the reader/listener to find, like finding a needle in a haystack the size of the Empire State Building. My view of Messiah University has faded as a result of reading this book. To think that a Christian college would hire a professor who does such a shoddy job in his research to advance a political cause. His politically formed theological conclusions are unsound and should disqualify him from pastoral work and Christian education. Indeed, this book is political propaganda like you can find in the mainstream news media. Some excellent books addressing justice exist; this is not one of them. I wish I could get back the wasted hours spent on this book.
