About this item

Throughout his distinguished career, Obery M. Hendricks, Jr. has been a pillar of moral clarity for many overlapping communities: African Americans, religious scholars, Christians of all backgrounds, political leaders, journalists, and his many readers. Now, in these pages, he rejects the "anti-Christ" views of the American religious right that are corroding the faith from within. Devoting each chapter to a specific contemporary issue--from abortion rights to homophobia, from gun control to nativism--Hendricks invokes Biblical and theological texts to show how evangelicals are misreading the teachings of Christ. He denounces the moneyed, power-hungry interests who have led evangelicals astray with hollow promises of a Christian-centric government.
