About the Book

In Christ Before Caesar, Thoma addresses the waning influence of Christianity in America, calling for a bold reengagement in the public square. Through theological insight, historical analysis, and personal anecdotes--such as his daughter's encounter with biased classroom material--Thoma exposes how secular narratives mischaracterize Christian conviction as a threat. He critiques the Church's internal compromises and external pressures, urging believers to resist cultural lies with the truth of the Gospel. From the Founding Fathersto modern challenges, Thoma argues for a courageous, Christ-centered presence in civic life. Anchored in the biblical truth, this book equips pastors, laypeople, and conservative Christians to navigate a secularizing world with clarity and conviction. With pastoral reflections and a call to action, Christ Before Caesar is a rallying cry for those committed to religious liberty and cultural engagement.

About the Author :
Dr. Christopher I. Thoma, a key voice in Church-State issues, serves as executive director of The Body of Christ and the Public Square. He authored the four-volume devotional The Cruciform Way, Ten Ways to Kill a Pastor, and the satirical five-volume The Angels' Portion: A Clergyman's Whisky Narrative.

Review :

"Christ Before Caesar is a work of gravity and grace--a symphony of truth drawn from deep wells of Scripture, history, and confession. With precision and resolve, Thoma writes not to flatter the faithful but to awaken us, tracing with care the fault lines that divide courage from compromise. This is a call to allegiance--to the cross, and to the One who died upon it and who reigns over history. This is a clarion summons to the Church to remember who she is and whom she serves."
-- Timothy Goeglein, vice president of external and government relations for Focus on the Family

"Pastor Thoma provides a rundown of the challenges of our time with insightful reflections on how to address these matters head-on. This is not the descent into despair; this is a manual for Christian soldiers. Take up your arms--we have work to do! The gates of hell will not prevail against Christ's Church. Don the full armour of God and let us go on a crusade to restore Christendom. Christ Before Caesar! Deus vult!"
-- Father Calvin Robinson, UK political adviser, TV anchor, radio presenter, conservative commentator, and parish priest

"Pastor Thoma's Christ Before Caesar is a sorely needed book at a time when the climate for truth-tellers in America is hostile and contradictory. A hyper-individualistic online culture encourages people to cling to vague moralism and personal opinion over religious confession. At the same time, political polarization means that many of the loudest voices are swayed by tribalism and groupthink without even realizing it. Thoma has carefully considered all the present problems of Christians engaging in the public square and offers solutions firmly rooted in careful historical analysis and solid Lutheran doctrine. He is especially good at articulating and defending Two Kingdoms theology and the benefits of religious liberty. Christ Before Caesar will no doubt inspire readers to speak eternal moral truths clearly and courageously."
-- Mollie Ziegler Hemingway, American conservative author, columnist, and political commentator
