Featured on Political Theology Network – Our Common Poverty

David Driedger is a local Christian leader worth listening to and reading, and a person I gain a lot of hope for reconciliation from.
– Niigaan Sinclair, Anishinaabe writer, editor, professor, and activist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Author of Wînipêk: Visions of Canada from an Indigenous Centre

David Driedger writes from a less than familiar perspective. This permits him to dispose quite readily of the various triumphalisms that seduce us. He makes room for hope and reflection on “what is not of this world.” He puts our daily lives into quite a fresh perspective. He knows in compelling ways that our lives are beyond our own management, and are best lived in response to the Holy One who lives beyond us and outside of our control. His book is an invitation to reflect and trust beyond the ideologies that press upon us.
—Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary

David Driedger’s Nothing Will Save Us shows us how the gospel can be a challenging word, one that dismantles idols while recognizing its own temptation to set up new ones. Addressing topics as wide-ranging as universal basic income and sex work, Driedger gives us a theology that is both deeply biblical and urgently contemporary, both sharply critical and profoundly empathetic.
—Adam Kotsko, author of Neoliberalism’s Demons

Nothing Will Save Us – beyond attentive thinking, refusing to place faith in easy answers. In this way, Driedger’s book is a testimony to an examined life, bringing the thoughtfulness of the Bible to bear on the many dimensions of structural sin. This is liberation theology for a Canadian context: engaged, sincere, and open-hearted. Above all, Driedger’s own character comes across, a character condensing and expressing a Christian life faithfully lived.

It’s hard to find much ‘good’ in the Christian Good News these days, in a world shaped by structural injustices and systemic oppressions empowered and sustained by the assumption of Christian supremacy. If there is anything good to hear in this news, it will be, as David Driedger provocatively suggests, ‘nothing’ in terms of the logic of this world. Nothing Will Save Us is an impassioned call for Christians to resist violence in the name of a gospel that the church historically has refused to hear and follow.
—David W. Congdon, University of Kansas, author of Who Is a True Christian? Contesting Religious Identity in American Culture

Nothing Will Save Us: A Theology of Immeasurable Life is a hopeful book about hopelessness. Pastor, theologian, and activist David Driedger’s voice is both unique and much needed in these times where all hopes for a just and humane society and thriving planet appear to be lost causes. With an eye well trained to the contours and complexities of the biblical text, Driedger engages a range of social and political questions—from Basic Income to sex work to policing–with humility, depth, experience, and compassion. This book is a must read for clergy, theologians, and Christians who seek the immeasurable and abundant life to which Christ calls us in the midst of idolatry and violence.
