Political season draweth nigh!
Here’s a sobering quote to think on the next time a politician capitalizes on their religious affiliation to get you to vote for ‘em:
“The paradox of the [early] church was that it was a religious revolutionary movement, yet without a conscious political ideology; it aimed at the capture of society throughout all its strata, but was at the same time characteristic for its indifference to the possession of power in the world.”
— Henry Chadwick, The Early Church, p.69.
