Why the Christian Right Is Wrong (PDF)

"I join the ranks of those who are angry, because I have watched as
the faith I love has been taken over by fundamentalists who claim
to speak for Jesus but whose actions are anything but
Christian."

--Robin Meyers, from his "Speech Heard Round the World"

Millions of Americans are outraged at the Bush administration's
domestic and foreign policies and even angrier that the nation's
religious conservatives have touted these policies as
representative of moral values. Why the Christian Right Is
Wrong is a rousing manifesto that will ignite the collective
conscience of all whose faith and values have been misrepresented
by the Christian Right.

Praise for Why the Christian Right Is Wrong:

"In the pulpit, Robin Meyers is the new generation's Harry
Emerson Fosdick, George Buttrick, and Martin Luther King. In these
pages, you will find a stirring message for our times, from a man
who believes that God's love is universal, that the great Jewish
prophets are as relevant now as in ancient times, and that the
Jesus who drove the money changers from the Temple may yet inspire
us to embrace justice and compassion as the soul of democracy. This
is not a book for narrow sectarian minds; read it, and you will
want to change the world."

--Bill Moyers

"In this book, a powerful and authentic religious voice from
America's heartland holds up a mirror to the Bush administration
and its religious allies. The result is a vision of Orwellian
proportions in which values are inverted and violence, hatred, and
bigotry are blessed by one known as 'The Prince of Peace,' who
called us to love our enemies. If you treasure this country and
tremble over its present direction, this book is a
must-read!"

--John Shelby Spong author, The Sins of Scripture: Exposing
the Bible's Texts of Hate to Reveal the God of Love

"This is a timely warning and a clarion call to the church to
recover the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to a great nation to resist
the encroachment of the Christian Right and of Christian fascism.
Many of us in other parts of the world are praying fervently that
these calls will be heeded."

--Archbishop Desmond Tutu
