Compassion (&) Conviction: The AND Campaign’s Guide to Faithful Civic Engagement
(IVP, 2020)
WHO: Justin Giboney, cofounder of the AND Campaign; Michael Wear, chief strategist of the AND Campaign and the founder of Public Square Strategies LLC; and Chris Butler, associate pastor of Chicago Embassy Church and a member of the executive leadership team for the AND Campaign.
THEY SAY: “Christians will have political disagreements, but our disagreements are to be in the context of mutual love and submission to Christ.”
THE BIG IDEA: This book was written to help believers engage the civic space as faithful Christians and informed citizens.
THE PROGRESSION: In eight chapters, this book tackles subjects that Christians, no matter what their political leanings, should be informed about: Christians and politics, church and state, compassion and conviction, partnerships and partisanship, messaging and rhetoric, politics and race, advocacy and protest, and civility and political culture.
