Who Are The “Real” Christians?: Who do We Reject and Who do We Correct?

In this era when politics and Christian identity are so tightly wrapped around one another, it’s common to see people arguing that the people across the aisle aren’t “real” Christians—because of what or who they support or defend. But is this division between Christians helpful, or even true? What if they ARE real Christians—and they are our responsibility? Launching points for this discussion include a recent Substack by Tim Whitaker (The New Evangelicals), entitled “Stop Saying They Aren’t Real Christians,” Katherine Stewart’s book “Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy,” and Zach Lambert’s “Better Ways to Read the Bible: Transforming a Weapon of Harm into a Tool of Healing.” ***** Special thanks to our sponsors at Quoir, publishers of The Quollective.
