The question, 'What does it mean to be 'the church'?' has always been among the most controversial and of vital concern to political, economic, and ecclesial leaders alike. How it is answered influences whether Christianity will be a force for legitimating or subverting existing secular relations of power, influence, and privilege. The Church as Counterculture enters the debates on Christian identity, purpose, and organization by calling for the churches to reclaim their roles as 'communities of disciples'distinct and distinctive groups formed by the priorities and practices of Jesusto constitute a countercultural reality and challenge to secular society and existing power relations.The notion of the church as a countercultural community of disciples confounds many conventional divides within the Christian family (liberal and conservative, church and sect), while forcing redefinition of commonplace categories like religion and politics, sacred and secular. The contributors to this booktheologians, social theorists, philosophers, historians, Catholics and Protestants of various backgroundsreflect this shifting of categories and divisions. The book provides thoughtprovoking Christian perspectives on war and genocide, racism and nationalism, the legitimacy of liberalism and capitalism, and more.Contributors include Michael J. Baxter, Robert W. Brimlow, Walter Brueggemann, Michael L. Budde, Curt Cadorette, Rodney Clapp, Roberto S. Goizueta, Stanley Hauerwas, Marianne Sawicki, and Michael Warren.
