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.
