I suspect Paul would have thought of himself as serving an alternative kingdom rather than empire, but everything Morgan says still applies. Paul's language reminds me again of the importance of imagination in Christian discipleship. I've suspected for some time that while "in Christ" can and does mean many things, it's Paul's way of saying "in the kingdom," which is why he refers specifically to the kingdom of God so infrequently.

Sorry Baptists. Check mate. 😜
