Shane Claiborne writes Christian non-fiction about community, poverty, nonviolence and attempts to live evangelical faith outside conventional middle-class church structures. The Irresistible Revolution combines memoir with descriptions of communal living, work with poor communities and criticism of consumerism and militarism. Jesus for President, written with Chris Haw, places Christian political loyalty in tension with nationalism and state power, while Executing Grace argues against the death penalty from a Christian perspective. Claiborne’s prose is informal, activist and devotional, mixing personal stories with scripture and political argument rather than offering neutral policy analysis. His work sits within Christian social justice, new-monastic community writing and nonviolence. The Irresistible Revolution is the defining title for readers interested in intentional community and faith expressed through economic and social practice. Read more Less
