But our modern Western politics are defined by a determination to bendthe natural world and human life to its own political and economic ends. This wholesale rejection of the natural order is behind the dominant revolutions in our history, and defines our experience in Western society today--our racialized hierarchy, modern industry, and the sexual revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWhat Are Christians For?\u003c\/i\u003e, Jake Meador lays out a proposal for a Christian politics rooted in the givenness and goodness of the created world. He is uninterested in the cultural wars that have so often characterized American Christianity. Instead, he casts a vision for an ordered society that rejects the late modern revolution at every turn and is rooted in the natural law tradition and the great Protestant confessions. Here is a political approach that is antiracist, anticapitalist, and profoundly pro-life. A truly Christian political witness, Meador argues, must attend closely to the natural world and renounce the metallic fantasies that have poisoned common life in America life for too long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJake Meador is the editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eMere Orthodoxy\u003c\/i\u003e, a contributing editor with \u003ci\u003ePlough\u003c\/i\u003e, and a contributing writer at The Dispatch.
