In these passionate and wide-ranging essays Obery Hendricks offers
a challenging engagement with spirituality, economics, politics,
contemporary Christianity, and the abuses committed in its name.
Among his themes: the gap between the spirituality of the church
and the spirituality of Jesus; the ways in which contemporary
versions of gospel music "sensationalize" today's churches into
social and political irrelevance; how the economic principles and
policies espoused by the religious right betray the most basic
principles of the same biblical tradition they claim to hold dear;
the domestication of Martin Luther King's message to foster a
political complacency that dishonors King's sacrifices. He ends
with a stinging rebuke of the religious right's idolatrous
"patriotism" in a radical manifesto for those who would practice
"the politics of Jesus" in the public sphere.
