Abstract
Anna Madsen’s new book, I Can Do No Other: The Church’s New Here We Stand Moment, is not explicitly about the relationship between church and state. It is, rather about discipleship, about taking the promise of the Gospel that though “death is real, life is realer” and the message of the Reformation that justification means that injustice threatens life and we – the church – are called to be ambassadors of that Gospel. Later, Madsen says we are called to be “gospel in motion.” And this makes her book exactly about the relationship between church and state and those of us who inhabit both.
