Books by Johannes Reimer

Evangelical Christians in many countries shy away from politics. And yet, especially with the rise of the Pentecostal and charismatic movements, the interest and involvement in political activity is becoming a daily reality in evangelical circles. At the same time, evangelical politicians are not exempt from scandals of corruption and complaints of ineffectiveness. Are Christians unable to do better politics than others? Are they less prepared? Is even the whole political involvement of Christians under question?In this book, Dr Johannes Reimer explores the answers to these questions by articulating a theology of the church's political mission. The church is not a political party, but as God's ecclesia, it has a prophetic voice and is called out of the world to take responsibility for the world.

Over the years of Micah Global facilitating integral mission conversations and dialoguesaround God's mission, a question keeps arising - "What do we mean by church?" Thereseems to be a growing need to explore this question and seek a way of answering it in a waythat unites us for God's mission. Micah invited Johannes Reimer to lead a working group onthis question and it soon became apparent that instead of asking the question "What ischurch?" we needed to radically rethink church by exploring God's Word together anddrawing out key attributes that we could all agree on. For grassroots transformation to takeplace we need grassroots agents of change - who better that God's people called out totake responsibility for God's world?
