Is the Republican Party the Christian Party? Or is it destroying Christianity? In our modern age of hyper-partisan politics, most Bible-believing Christians despise the Democratic Party for legalizing abortion, gay marriage, and recreational drugs. Therefore, they crown the Democrats' rivals - the Republicans - as the Christian Party and embrace Republican values as gospel. Are they wise, however, in assuming that the enemies of God's enemies are God's friends? Since the 1870s, the Republicans have been known as the party of the rich - the very class the Bible criticizes most. Now that most Christians have joined their ranks, Republicans bombard them with greed rhetoric that favors the interests of the wealthy above all else. The result: millions of wealth-obsessed Christians who have replaced biblical teachings with the false moralities of the Republican Party. These Republican false moralities sound great. They promote pure capitalism, personal responsibility, liberty, small government, the idea that taxes are evil, and the American way as righteousness that's one-in-the-same as Christianity. However, while some of these ideologies can indeed be used for good, they can also be tools of oppression. When Christians allow these Republican moralities to determine what's right and wrong, they worship a man-made philosophy that's not only oppressive, it's anti-biblical. If these Republican moralities become Christian doctrine, biblical Christianity will die. Rescuing Religion from Republican Reason uses the Bible, history, economic data, and common sense to refute the false moralities, historical misrepresentations, and economic deceptions of the self-proclaimed Christian party - the Republicans - especially with regard to the issues of money and business. It does so by: *Including 150 Bible passages that collectively oppose Republican ideology *Examining the atrocities of the late 1800s and early 1900s, when Republican doctrine ruled America *Refuting over 20 deceptive Republican economic arguments *Revealing the other-centered nature of God's laws *Exposing the wealth-centered nature of Republican principles *Shooting down the "what's right" arguments of the Republicans, so we can focus on doing "what works" for most people, all of whom are created in God's image.

Is the GOP now a religious party? “As engaging as it is provocative. . . . should be read closely by liberals as well as conservatives.” —Jonathan Raban, The New York Review of Books One of the nation’s leading political commentators makes an impassioned call to rescue conservatism from the excesses of the Republican far right, which has tried to make the GOP the first fundamentally religious party in American history. Today’s conservatives support the idea of limited government, but they have increased government’s size and power to new heights. They believe in balanced budgets, but they have boosted government spending, debt, and pork to record levels. They believe in national security but launched a reckless, ideological occupation in Iraq that has made us tangibly less safe. They have substituted religion for politics and damaged both. In this bold and powerful book, Andrew Sullivan makes a provocative, prescient, and heartfelt case for a revived conservatism at peace with the modern world, and dedicated to restraining government and empowering individuals to live rich and fulfilling lives. “Calmly and rationally attempts to deduce the malady that in barely fifteen years has rendered Reagan-era conservatism all but unrecognizable.” —Bryan Burrough, The Washington Post Book World “Sullivan has a breezy, readable style . . . Much of the book is a meditation on his own evolving faith as a devout Catholic.” —Publishers Weekly “Andrew Sullivan has been more honest and open-minded than just about anybody else on the right. . . . This is Sullivan at his wonderful best.” —David Brooks, The New York Times Book Review

This book is the first serious analysis of the religious and political career of Ian Paisley, the only modern Western leader to have founded his own Church, the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, and his own political party, the Democratic Unionist Party. Paisley's enduring popularity and success--in 1979, he received more votes than any other member of the European Parliament--mirror the complicated issues that continue to plague Northern Ireland. Using considerable unpublished documentary material, Bruce provides unique insight into Unionist politics and religion in Northern Ireland today.

An inside look at the young, diverse, and progressive Christians who are transforming the evangelical movement Deborah Jian Lee left the evangelical world because she was frustrated by its conservative politics. But over the years, she noticed how evangelical culture and politics were changing—and moving in a more progressive direction. What Lee came to find is that most of what we think we know about evangelicals is wrong, or is well on its way to becoming dated. In Rescuing Jesus, she ventures into the world of progressive evangelicalism, telling the stories of those at the forefront of a movement that could change the face and the substance of religion in the United States. These men and women are a young and diverse array of people—LGBTQ and straight; white, black, Asian, Hispanic, and indigenous—who are working to wrest political power away from conservatives. These young evangelicals are more likely than their elders to accept same-sex marriage, more inclined to think of “pro-life” issues as being about supporting society’s disenfranchised, and more accepting of equality between men and women. With empathy, journalistic rigor, and powerful storytelling, Lee unpacks the diverse and complex strands of this movement—and what it means for the rest of us. Given the clout that evangelicals still hold in national politics, Lee argues, this movement is important not only for the future of evangelicalism but also for the future of our country.

Why do conservatives tell stories? Because it helps them win elections and assail liberal policies like health care reform and economic stimulus. "Why" is important, but the "what" and the "how" behind the stories that conservatives tell are equally interesting, and in this new book, David Ricci reveals all. He shows how conservative activists and candidates tell many tales that come together to project a large-scale story; a cultural narrative; a vision of what America is and what it should do to prosper socially, economically, and politically. Liberals, by contrast, tend to look for theories rather than stories, for mathematical explanations rather than theological axioms, for data rather than anecdotes, and for statistics rather than homilies. The difference is paradoxical. Liberals are unlikely to fashion sweeping narratives that capture the public s attention and commitment. Yet conservatives may tell attractive stories like the ones that got us into Iraq that momentarily capture voter support but end up costing the country more than it can afford."

This little book is like the answer key for the Big Book. If you have ever wondered who is actually a "true Christian" in God's eyes, this book has the answer. If you have ever wondered who is going to Heaven and how exactly they are going to get there, this book has the answer. Too often, God is represented as who we say He is instead of who He says He is. If God is real and He is who He says He is, then the final answer always comes from Him and never from us. If God is not who He says He is, then there is no reason for you to read this book at all. The author takes words from God's own mouth and discusses these logical problems using one part critical thinking and one part simple explaining. Who is God and what does He save us from? When does He save us and how? Most shockingly, why does He do it? If we understand who God is, what are the implications for how we live our lives? Does it make a difference if we vote Republican or Democrat? Can we have an abortion? Do we have to go to church? If you're not Christian, do you think Christians are hypocrites? Do you think they can't think for themselves? Do you think they have drunk a whole lot of that sweet red drink? You think you know, but you have no idea . . .

Ellingsen critically examines how modern American politics relate to Jesus' vision of love and peace, questioning how Republican policies fit with the Christian values they espouse. He shows how people, regardless of political party, can embrace true Christian essentials in a way that authentically appeals not only to liberals but mainstream and even conservative Christians.
