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.

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.

Download and read online ebook Jesus Is Not a Republican write by Clint Willis. This book was released on 2005-10-06. Jesus Is Not a Republican available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The historical Jesus, by most accounts, was in favor of social justice, peace and compassion. Right wing radicals, including the social conservatives allied with the Republican Party, exploit the name of Jesus to support policies that lead to injustice, war and cruelty. Jesus Is Not a Republican includes several dozen essays and articles, including several original essays, by some of today's most thoughtful spiritual and political thinkers. Rob Boston of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State uncovers the hypocrisy of the Christian Right. Reporter Jeffrey Sharlet goes undercover as a true believer in "the Family", a shadowy, politically well-connected group of fundamentalists with dubious motives. Jim Wallis, founder of Sojourners, explains the Bible's call to work for social justice. Together, they make the case that the religious right has strayed far from a truly Christian path, and reviews the achievements of progressive Christians who actually try to follow the teachings of Jesus. The upshot is that a true follower of Jesus is far more likely to vote for a liberal Democrat than for a conservative Republican.
