Christians Against Christianity
Book Description
In this provocative examination of contemporary American Christianity, biblical scholar Obery M. Hendricks presents a compelling case that modern right-wing evangelical movements have strayed far from the teachings they claim to follow. Drawing upon careful scriptural analysis, Hendricks reveals how certain interpretations of Christian doctrine contradict the fundamental message of compassion and justice that defined Jesus's ministry.
The author methodically addresses the theological inconsistencies he observes in evangelical positions on social issues, from attitudes toward marginalized communities to economic policies that favor corporate interests over working families. Hendricks argues that these stances reflect a distortion of biblical principles rather than faithful adherence to Christian teachings.
Writing in the aftermath of recent political upheavals, including the Capitol attack, Hendricks calls for believers to reclaim their faith's authentic spiritual foundation. He challenges readers to examine whether their religious convictions align with the life-affirming principles of love, mercy, and social justice that he identifies as central to Jesus's message.
This thought-provoking work offers both critique and guidance, encouraging Christians to engage in honest self-reflection about their beliefs and practices. Hendricks provides a pathway for those seeking to reconcile their faith with values of inclusion, compassion, and genuine spiritual transformation. The book serves as both a wake-up call and a roadmap for returning to what the author sees as Christianity's true spiritual essence.
