If Christians are supposed to love one another, why do we fight so much? In Disunity in Christ: Uncovering the Hidden Forces that Keep Us Apart (IVP Books), social psychology Christena Cleveland discusses the factors and processes that cause divisions within the church and offers tools to help us overcome those things that separate us. She writes: “I wonder how much Christ’s heart is broken when we denigrate followers of Christ who differ from us…Further, how much are we losing because of our differences? How much are the people for whom Christ died suffering because we remain paralyzed and divided by our differences when we should be working together as the hands and feet of Jesus in the world?”
