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.
