Book Synopsis Republican Jesus by : Tony Keddie

Download or read book Republican Jesus written by Tony Keddie. This book was released on 2021-09-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The Bibles of the Far Right written by Hannah M. Strømmen. This book was released on 2024. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bibles of the Far Right is about a far-right worldview that has taken hold in contemporary Europe. It focuses on the role Bibles have come to play in this worldview. Starting with the case of far-right terrorism in Norway in 2011, the study argues that particular perceptions of "the Bible" and particular uses of biblical texts have been significant in calls to "protect" Europe against Islam. This study proposes new ways to understand political Bible-use today in order to respond to violence inspired by biblical texts.

Book Synopsis The Claim to Christianity by : Hannah Strømmen

Download or read book The Claim to Christianity written by Hannah Strømmen. This book was released on 2020-06-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The far right is on the rise across Europe, pushing a battle scenario in which Islam clashes with Christianity as much as Christianity clashes with Islam. From the margins to the mainstream, far-right protesters and far-right politicians call for the defence of Europe’s Christian culture. The far right claims Christianity. This book investigates contemporary far-right claims to Christianity. Ulrich Schmiedel and Hannah Strømmen examine the theologies that emerge in the far right across Europe, concentrating on Norway, Germany and Great Britain. They explore how churches in these three countries have been complicit, complacent or critical of the far right, sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally. Ultimately, Schmiedel and Strømmen encourage a creative and collaborative theological response. To counter the far right, Christianity needs to be practiced in an open and open-ended way which calls Christians into contact with Muslims.

Book excerpt: "This study examines the role that Bibles have come to play in the worldview of the contemporary far right. It argues that references to biblical texts and "the Bible" are part of calls to defend Europe against Islam. Taking the case of far-right terrorism in Norway on 22 July 2011 as a starting point, the study maps continuities and connections between Bible-use in far-right terrorist manifestos, in the thought-leaders that inspire far-right violence, in conservative thinkers of Europe, and in historical forms of Bible-use that are being activated today. By drawing on Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, this study proposes a way of doing biblical reception that maps how Bibles operate in the world as assemblages. Ultimately, The Bibles of the Far Right proposes new ways to understand political Bible-use today in order to respond to violence inspired by biblical texts"--
