Are you curious about what it means to give your full allegiance to the kingdom of God in a world dominated by political power? Join us as we dive into Resisting Babel, a thought-provoking book that explores the life and vision of David Lipscomb, a 19th-century church leader who boldly called Christians to place their loyalty in God’s kingdom rather than human governments.
Through Lipscomb’s story, we’ll examine how his eschatologically grounded vision sparked religious reform, missionary zeal, and a radical way of engaging with the world’s powers. We’ll also reflect on the challenges and warnings his legacy offers for the modern church.
This book club is for anyone who wants to wrestle with questions of faith, politics, and the church’s role in the world. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a theology lover, or simply someone seeking deeper insight into what it means to follow Jesus, this is the perfect space to learn, discuss, and grow together.
Let’s explore the voices of leading scholars and contributors like Richard T. Hughes, Richard Goode, Lee C. Camp, and Joshua Ward Jeffery, as they unpack Lipscomb’s vision and its relevance for today.
