Ordinary Faith in Polarized Times: Justification and the Pursuit of Justice Carr Amy
Christians in the United States and around the world are politically polarized today, unable to speak to one another across deep divisions regarding urgent social issues. Amy Carr and Christine Helmer draw on Paul's theology to center the idea of justification by faith in Christ as the primary ground of Christian belonging and community.This approach yields a theology of ordinary faith that resists the temptation to equate Christian identity with the performance of a heroic "here I stand" posture against moral and political positions felt to be inimical to a properly Christian life. Ordinary Faith in Polarized Times: Justification and the Pursuit of Justice addresses this dire reality by offering a theological framework for Christian justice-seeking.
