The next article [in this issue] by John Lemuel Lenon, titled “Faithful Citizenship in the Person of Jesus,” is a Christological inquiry into the political stance of Jesus. He notes that while earlier scholars may have been reluctant to consider Jesus as political, a rediscovery of politics that now appraises it in a more positive light lets us take a second look at him as a citizen. In this very insightful paper, Lenon contends that being a faithful citizen is an inextricable part of Jesus’ faithfulness to God that “calls for a kind of political engagement that seeks to orient society towards the common good and to structure it justly.” He then goes on to discuss the Beatitudes and Jesus’ teaching on retaliation and how they embody this idea of faithful citizenship. In light of the growing tendency nowadays to bracket religious beliefs in the civic and political sphere and vice versa, this model of citizenship inspired by the Gospels can be a viable application of the “better kind of politics” that Pope Francis advocates.
