Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 or read book Republican Jesus written by Tony Keddie and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller God's Politics struck a chord with Americans disenchanted with how the Right had co-opted all talk about integrating religious values into our politics, and with the Left, who were mute on the subject. Jim Wallis argues that America's separation of church and state does not require banishing moral and religious values from the public square. God's Politics offers a vision for how to convert spiritual values into real social change and has started a grassroots movement to hold our political leaders accountable by incorporating our deepest convictions about war, poverty, racism, abortion, capital punishment, and other moral issues into our nation's public life. Who can change the political wind? Only we can.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely known for his hard hitting, no punches held journalism and criticism of religious belief, Werleman comes out with the gloves off, but this time he takes aim at atheist Republicans. Atheists Can't Be Republicans exposes the insane economic and social policies of today's Republican Party. Policies that have been proven abjectly false and dangerous, in much the same way religious belief is false and dangerous. Werleman contends that atheists who cling onto modern U.S. conservative ideology are hanging onto ideas that have either been proven mythical at worst or remain unproven at best. If atheists applied the same litmus test to their political ideology as they do to theology, then clearly an atheist cannot be a Republican.

Download or read book Jesus Is a Republican written by Katherine Black and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written specifically for Evangelical born-again Christians and those who identify with the Tea Party political movement. Anyone else reading this book may find it offensive. "Jesus Is A Republican" is a picture book for both adults and children. For adults, it reinforces conservative political convictions, and for children it instills conservative values with passages from the Bible accompanied by explanations, along with full-color illustrations. Although "Jesus Is A Republican" has political undertones that chastise liberal Democrats for supporting immoral behavior and encouraging deviant lifestyles, it is not meant to be a political book. It is a guide for both adults and children to strengthen the message of Jesus Christ as Our Lord and Savior. For too long the media elite have attempted to silence a majority of Americans who believe in God. The United States was founded as a Christian nation, yet laws exist that prevent Christians from openly expressing ourselves. From nativity displays during Christmas on public property to our children being able to pray in public school classrooms, it is time the majority rise up and take our country back. "Jesus Is A Republican" is a picture book that plainly and objectively explains the conservative teachings and values of Jesus Christ on a variety of subjects, many of which affect today's political discourse. Progressives have an image to sell, which is tolerance and acceptance of behavior that is the antithesis of Christianity, whereas Republicans advocate the same conservative values as those of Jesus Christ, which is what this picture book conveys. Contrary to the message from those who do not agree with the Bible, Jesus never would have tolerated a society in which abortion is allowed, where homosexuality is openly practiced and taught to our children, and where the authority of God is superseded by Man. "Jesus Is A Republican" provides New Testament examples of Jesus' acceptance of guns, why war is often necessary to achieve certain outcomes, the requirement of the death penalty, and how wealthy people are beneficial for a society to function. "Jesus Is A Republican" also dispels common myths, such as the fact that Jesus was not poor, who among us should have access to healthcare, and why the tax rates we currently endure in the United States are unnecessarily punitive. Christian adults and their children will enjoy the message and tone of "Jesus Is A Republican," while appreciating the full-color illustrations that accompany each chapter from award-winning illustrator Aron Vaisvila. "Jesus Is A Republican" has been banned in over 30 Islamic countries, and every major publisher turned its back on the values contained within this picture book, proving beyond doubt that the liberal media does exist and is still in charge. What the media establishment fails to understand is that Jesus the conservative is not about hate, but rather about fact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this searing meditation on the bonds of family and the allure of extremist faith, one of today’s most celebrated Christian writers recounts his unexpected journey from a strict fundamentalist upbringing to a life of compassion and grace—a revelatory memoir that “invites comparison to Hillbilly Elegy” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Searing, heartrending . . . This stunning tale reminds us that the only way to keep living is to ask God for the impossible: love, forgiveness, and hope.”—Kate Bowler, New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason Raised by an impoverished widow who earned room and board as a Bible teacher in 1950s Atlanta, Philip Yancey and his brother, Marshall, found ways to venture out beyond the confines of their eight-foot-wide trailer. But when Yancey was in college, he uncovered a shocking secret about his father’s death—a secret that began to illuminate the motivations that drove his mother to extreme, often hostile religious convictions and a belief that her sons had been ordained for a divine cause. Searching for answers, Yancey dives into his family origins, taking us on an evocative journey from the backwoods of the Bible Belt to the bustling streets of Philadelphia; from trailer parks to church sanctuaries; from family oddballs to fire-and-brimstone preachers and childhood awakenings through nature, music, and literature. In time, the weight of religious and family pressure sent both sons on opposite paths—one toward healing from the impact of what he calls a “toxic faith,” the other into a self-destructive spiral. Where the Light Fell is a gripping family narrative set against a turbulent time in post–World War II America, shaped by the collision of Southern fundamentalism with the mounting pressures of the civil rights movement and Sixties-era forces of social change. In piecing together his fragmented personal history and his search for redemption, Yancey gives testament to the enduring power of our hunger for truth and the possibility of faith rooted in grace instead of fear. “I truly believe this is the one book I was put on earth to write,” says Yancey. “So many of the strands from my childhood—racial hostility, political division, culture wars—have resurfaced in modern form. Looking back points me forward.”

Download or read book Why Democrats Hate God? written by Brian W. Kelly and published by Lets Go Publish. This book was released on 2018-11 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is little doubt that God is not a Democrat favorite. There are many reasons why Democrats hate God including the obvious that some Democrats are atheists. Another big reason in the last two years according to a number of popular preachers has something to do with God selecting Donald Trump to Save America and Americans. By now, those of us who like what Trump is doing for America know that Mr. Trump was sent from God as the people's answer to deep anti-establishment anger and discontent and also as a beacon for goodness. Since Democrats hate Trump, having God as the reason for Trump is reason enough for Democrats to hate God. "Millions of Americans." declared Dallas megachurch pastor Robert Jeffries in 2017, "believe the election of President Trump represented God giving us another chance-perhaps our last chance-to truly make America great again. Our job was to elect him once God showed us the way." We thank Our Lord to this day that we did. You can bet than any Democrat listening to Jeffries was seething. Christian Leaders prophesied before the election that God had raised up Donald Trump to lead the nation through a time of crisis. This gave Democrats another reason to hate God because as the world knows, they already hated Trump. Donald Trump got elected because someone such as God or a legion of Guardian Angels whispered in the individual ears of millions of Americans. The voice(s) said that together in the 20016 election, the people would make a difference, and then God gave Donald Trump to America to be that difference. The people trusted this self-made Billionaire to do what was best for America and not the bidding of slimy politicians or political donors and hacks. This drove Democrats and allies in the Swamp nuts and it caused intense hate for Trump among them. The Democrats and the establishment also began to stoke up their hate for the people who supported Trump-the ne'er-do-wells from the basket of deplorables. All were connected to God and so the hate for God became widespread among the Democrats. For the people looking for an end to progressive rule, Donald Trump was the only candidate for president who offered Americans a breath of fresh air. The people had had enough of the stodgy, bossy, establishment elites in both the Democratic and Republican Parties. Trump defied the status quo of rich donors controlling the government for their personal benefit. Donald Trump became a great gift from God himself. As the hate for Trump began to boil, the Democrat's hate for God increased in parallel. You are going to love this book. It explains in simple terms why Democrats hate God so much.

Download or read book How Would God Vote? written by David Klinghoffer and published by Image. This book was released on 2008-06-03 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From How Would God Vote? “The Bible commands a style of politics that in the American context could only be described as deeply conservative. Is, then, the politics of God theocratic? “A strong case could be made for theocracy, American-style, if the word were defined not in the conventional way but according to its root meaning. Democracy signifies the rule of the demos, the people. Strictly speaking, theocracy means the rule not of churches or priests but of theos, God. It won’t do to deny that many conservatives, even while unambiguously affirming the traditional American separation of church and state, would add more theos to the democratic mix than is currently the case. I choose not to call myself a theocrat because I know how eager liberal secularists would be to twist the word against me. Dishonestly they would make it appear that I wish to impose a literal biblical theocracy, that I would dumbly imitate word for word the political structure of king, priesthood, and religious high court that existed in biblical antiquity. “Yet, in a subtler sense, are we not all theocrats now?” This startlingly original investigation into the controversies dividing America provides a clear and convincing affirmation of the relevance of the Bible to contemporary politics. With liberals and conservatives alike claiming the authority of the Bible as support for their views on social and moral issues, the need to understand what the Bible actually says has never been more pressing. In How Would God Vote?, journalist and scholar David Klinghoffer illuminates the worldview set forth in the Scriptures and argues that, with some exceptions, the God of the Bible would overwhelmingly support traditionally conservative principles and policies. Klinghoffer considers the ethical and moral heart of contemporary political debates—questions like immigration, gay marriage, abortion, care for the poor, war and peace, censorship, privacy, the place of religion in schools and the community, and much more. There is a pattern here. It’s for a very good reason that conservatives line up as they do, predictably, on a range of issue; as do liberals. The two competing political philosophies derive from radically different ways of looking at the world: one in consonance with the Bible, the other very much not. Klinghoffer, however, is no stereotypical Republican. Controversially, he argues that the Bible would have us emphasize domestic policy, the classic pre-9/11 culture war issues, over a hyped-up “World War IV” against “Islamofascism.” The Bible has a foreign policy, he shows, and it is not neoconservative. He demonstrates support in the Scriptures for a welcoming attitude toward immigrants, for gun control, and for affirmative action. The Bible, Klinghoffer shows, is no mere list of dos and don’ts but a fully coherent and practically relevant portrait of moral reality, compelling and deep enough to guide not only our private but our public lives. Even if we as individuals fail its private tests, that’s no reason to reject its public lessons. To anyone who takes God seriously, every election poses a radical question: Will we vote with Him, or against Him? The Bible is an unapologetically political book, Klinghoffer explains, and an extremely conservative one. Some political views offend God, and those views are mostly liberal. In short, the Bible commands you to be a conservative. Stimulating and provocative, How Would God Vote? is an important contribution to pre-election debates and to setting the path the nation will follow in the future under a new president.
