EXILES: THE CHURCH IN THE SHADOW OF EMPIRE

This book examines the relationship between faith and politics by asking readers to view themselves as "exiles in Babylon" and rely on Scripture rather than political parties to shape their core values. Author Sprinkle explores how the first-century church navigated its political identity without conflating Christian faith with Roman authority. The work addresses Israel's Babylonian exile's ongoing influence on believers' political identity, advocates for Christians viewing themselves as foreigners within their nations, demonstrates that Jesus's gospel carried political implications, and encourages the modern church to maintain independence from worldly empires. The central thesis emphasizes that unwavering devotion to political movements weakens the church's effectiveness as a witness to the world.
