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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eRepublican Jesus, \u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Keddie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520385691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520385696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.19h x 5.43w x 1.10d","brand":"Tony Keddie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045968244991,"sku":"9780520385696","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40bc671e-8385-423e-8df0-ec7d687228b0.jpg?v=1684981844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/republican-jesus-tony-keddie-9780520385696","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
