More About This Title Red & Blue God, Black & Blue Church: Eyewitness Accts of How Am Churches are Hijacking Jesus, Bagging the Beatitudes, and Worshiping the Almty Dollar
English
A master of satire with a theological black belt, Becky Garrison shines a bright light on hypocrisy from both sides of the political spectrum, exposing how both red and blue Christians hold hostage the teachings of Jesus in service to their own partisan gain. What’s lacking is a true understanding of Christ’s mandate to love all of humanity—including our enemies—which, if honored, would open the door to honest dialogue and understanding that transcends political labels.
