Christianity in America has become almost synonymous with
right-wing fanaticism, conservative politics and -- courtousy of
Mel Gibson -- a brutally sadistic version of the religious
experience. Millions of devout Christians, like Dan Wakefield, are
appalled by this distortion of their faith, which only three
decades ago stood for peace, equality, healing, and compassion for
society's outcasts -- the issues that made up the Ministry of
Jesus. How did it come to pass that the Jesus of the New Testament,
the Jesus who preached the Sermon on the Mount, has in effect been
hijacked by right-wingers and the Republican Party? How is it that
mainline Christian denominations and leadership, both Catholic and
Prostestant, have remained remarkably silent on the issues of the
war in Iraq, the civil rights erosion of the Patriot Act, the
growth of poverty and the fact of over 40 million people without
health insurance? The Hijacking of Jesus tells the whole sorry
tale, from the Goldwater campaign of 1964 to George Bush's stunning
re-election in 2004.
