God Is Not A Republican

God Is Not a Republican

This book explores the intersections of partisan politics and Christianity in contemporary society. It examines how biblical values, such as equitable justice, honesty, love of other people, and help to the poor, have been compromised for partisan politics, which presents an unprecedented danger to the integrity of the Christian faith. The book presents compelling biblical teachings that contradict the misinformation promoted by some evangelical preachers to give the impression that the Republican Party’s political agendas represent God’s values. To demystify such misconceptions and present clarifications concerning significant political and social issues, the book draws parallel comparisons of the practices and policies of the Republican Party and Democratic Party and contrasts them with biblical teachings.

An acclaimed reporter presents the first major biography of the legendary, and divisive, conservative pastor who reshaped the landscape of American politics—Jerry Falwell. At a time when the Tea Party movement is dominating much of America's social and political discourse, the story of Falwell's Moral Majority will resonate strongly. Indeed, Falwell’s language may sound familiar to anyone who has heard recent speeches by figures like Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, or Michelle Bachmann.
