Letter to a Christian Nation (9780307278777)



From the new afterword by the author: Humanity has had a long fascination with blood sacrifice. In fact, it has been by no means uncommon for a child to be born into this world only to be patiently and lovingly reared by religious maniacs, who believe that the best way to keep the sun on its course or to ensure a rich harvest is to lead him by tender hand into a field or to a mountaintop and bury, butcher, or burn him alive as offering to an invisible God. The notion that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that his death constitutes a successful propitiation of a "loving" God is a direct and undisguised inheritance of the superstitious bloodletting that has plagued bewildered people throughout history. . .

Jesus for President : Kompromisslose Experimente in Sachen Politik (9783765514449)

"Die politische Fantasie von Christen hervorlocken" so beschreiben die Autoren das Ziel dieses Buches. Jenseits von Parteipolitik und Präsidentschaftswahlkämpfen malen Claiborne und Haw das Bild einer Kirche vor Augen, die es gelernt hat, nach anderen Spielregeln zu leben als denen, die die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Credos der Gesellschaft vorgeben. Jesus ruft seine Nachfolger auf, mitten in der Welt anders zu leben - als "Herausgerufene", die mit Glauben, Hoffnung, Liebe und Fantasie den Regeln des Reiches Gottes folgen.

Jesus for President bietet eine neue Perspektive auf die Verflechtungen von Kirche und Macht und regt dazu an, kreativ und kritisch die eigene Glaubenspraxis an den Maßstäben Jesu neu auszurichten. Ein Buch für alle, die Jesus folgen und im Geist der frühen Kirche das Reich Got...
