"In On the Precipice: Radicalized Faith in an Age of Collapse, Anthony Moss tries to tackle these questions, looking at how the theological and social imagination of Christianity has been drowned out by the twin demands of capitalism and empire. This work tries to show how rather than being hindrances to social progress, Christians have a unique heritage that allows them to address such pressing issues as climate change, environmental degradation, consumerism, and how the state continues to co-opt religion for its own ends. In an anxious age of Trump, when everything seems so distorted and fragile, On the Precipice: Radicalized Faith in an Age of Collapse argues that the best way to be a politically authentic Christian is to refuse to engage state politics on its own terms. It does so by appealing to the long-neglected socialist and anarchist traditions within American Christianity."
