Download and read online ebook God Is Not a Republican write by Daniel Korie. This book was released on 2024-04-09. God Is Not a Republican available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book explores the intersections of partisan politics and Christianity in contemporary society. It examines how biblical values, such as equitable justice, honesty, love of other people, and help to the poor, have been compromised for partisan politics, which presents an unprecedented danger to the integrity of the Christian faith. The book presents compelling biblical teachings that contradict the misinformation promoted by some evangelical preachers to give the impression that the Republican Party’s political agendas represent God’s values. To demystify such misconceptions and present clarifications concerning significant political and social issues, the book draws parallel comparisons of the practices and policies of the Republican Party and Democratic Party and contrasts them with biblical teachings.

Download and read online ebook Republican Jesus write by Tony Keddie. This book was released on 2021-09-09. Republican Jesus available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The complete guide to debunking right-wing misinterpretations of the Bible—from economics and immigration to gender and sexuality. Jesus loves borders, guns, unborn babies, and economic prosperity and hates homosexuality, taxes, welfare, and universal healthcare—or so say many Republican politicians, pundits, and preachers. Through outrageous misreadings of the New Testament gospels that started almost a century ago, conservative influencers have conjured a version of Jesus that speaks to their fears, desires, and resentments. In Republican Jesus, Tony Keddie explains not only where this right-wing Christ came from and what he stands for but also why this version of Jesus is a fraud. By restoring Republicans’ cherry-picked gospel texts to their original literary and historical contexts, Keddie dismantles the biblical basis for Republican positions on hot-button issues like Big Government, taxation, abortion, immigration, and climate change. At the same time, he introduces readers to an ancient Jesus whose life experiences and ethics were totally unlike those of modern Americans, conservatives and liberals alike.

An acclaimed reporter presents the first major biography of the legendary, and divisive, conservative pastor who reshaped the landscape of American politics—Jerry Falwell. At a time when the Tea Party movement is dominating much of America's social and political discourse, the story of Falwell's Moral Majority will resonate strongly. Indeed, Falwell’s language may sound familiar to anyone who has heard recent speeches by figures like Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, or Michelle Bachmann.

Download and read online ebook Jesus Is Not Republican write by Kate Rice. This book was released on 2024-09. Jesus Is Not Republican available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A party girl with a broken heart, pissed off at a culture that made her an easy victim of a love gone wrong, takes an irreverent look at the way centrists and liberals let the right hijack Jesus-and gives moderates and progressives of all faiths and of no faith a recipe for taking back God, flag and country.And she'll make you laugh in the process-like where Paul says, in Aramaic, shit happens. Corinthians 6; 1-13.. (Rice is pretty sure that most Bible literalists don't realize that the Bible was written in Aramaic, Hebrew and ancient Greek. Meaning it's impossible to interpret the Bible literally). Kate Rice is a party girl and battle-scarred veteran of three different religions and countless church suppers, Easter luncheons and bar and bat mitzvahs. She explains our nation's ongoing wrestling match with religion, politics, and sex through the prism of her own struggles with God, faith, and society. She explains her teenaged self's religious justification of blow jobs and believes that sex can't be bad because God made it so fun. She introduces us to the tatted up minister who preaches the joy of sex, church-going progressives standing strong in a rural America that is not as red as you think, and people of all faiths and no faith at all working together. These Americans who know the America our founders created: a nation that promised not just freedom of religion but freedom from religion. And, most importantly, freedom and equal rights for all.
