Jody’s mission is clear: to challenge and empower individuals to unlearn the imperial distortions of the Gospel and reclaim the radical, transformative message that Jesus proclaimed. His writing presents a prophetic vision of a Church and a world grounded in justice, inclusion, and peace—working for the marginalized, not the mighty.
Separating Cross and Empire isn't just another theological work. It’s a call to action. McKewen’s influential critique of how empire has distorted Christianity offers readers a chance to engage in the difficult but necessary process of unlearning the harmful ways the Church has aligned itself with power, while rediscovering a faith rooted in love and liberation.
Jody's journey into writing Separating Cross and Empire began years ago, as he noticed the growing tensions between his Christian faith and the political ideologies shaping the Church. With a desire to confront the status quo, Jody spent years studying the history of empire's influence on Christianity and developing a message that calls for a radical reimagining of the Church's role in the world.
