Understanding Donald Trump: and other essays about God, our lives and the times
"Understanding Donald Trump" is a collection of 50 short essays that candidly re-examines biblical spiritual practice in the unsettling context of new constricting forces and a fragmenting society. Along the way, this book analyzes Donald Trump, the pandemic and other events that will forever ear tag this current generation, asking readers to revisit things they thought they understood from new angles. "Understanding Donald Trump" posits that we can know truth and find our way in these confusing times, by carefully choosing which authority we ascribe to, and finding the stories from antiquity that best equate to our modern conundrums. Hildebrand surgically explores one biblical account after another to piece together ancient versions of modern headlines. He finds commonalities of sociological practice across time, uncovering new applications for old lessons and some elusive answers to the most pressing modern questions. The result is a rich and original stream of thought that peeks into the hidden machinations of the zeitgeist, draws deeply from forgotten wells of hope, and coalesces lost wisdom into modern prescriptions for meaning and action that refresh even as they challenge.
