Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-19 00:00:00 Emerson Gemignani Wow! In essence this book was enlightening and thought-provoking. I've long adhered to the argument that the religious right's co-opting of their own brand of Christianity was fundamentally "unchristian," but this horrified me even beyond what I'd thought possible. A lot of the essays printed here are available for free online, but with the glut of information available on the web, I likely would've missed the vast majority of them. Further, the essays were packaged and supplemented with a timeline and trenchant Biblical quotes that underscored the argument of the book. I'd recommend it to anyone planning to vote this November - as well as those abroad who currently think all Americans are like George W. Bush. We're not!

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-22 00:00:00 Linda Triezenberg How do Republicans balance their political beliefs with their Christian religion? According to this book, they can't. Excellent arguments and essays. Well thought-out discussions, examples and impeccable logic. I live in a very "Republican" county in Ohio so just reading this book was dangerous LOL! Note: donated this book to my local library after reading.
