Arguing for a reconceptualization of the theology of the cross and radical communal practices, the author explores some pervasive dangers of America's new Christendom and provocatively imagines alternatives to conventional Christianity--ones whereby the church embodies an alternative politic, where it commits to cruciform non-violence, appreciates gifts by giving them away, and knows its boundaries well enough to learn from those on the other side. 606 $aChristian life$zUnited States$y21st century 606 $aChristianity$zUnited States$y21st century 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristian life 615 0$aChristianity 676 $a277.3083 700 $aMahn$b Jason A.$f1973-$01268515 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150179803321 996 $aBecoming a Christian in Christendom$92983837 997 $aUNINA
