Red and Blue God

The Wittenburg Door has long been an oasis for those who think that religious people take themselves too seriously. Though its been years since I delved into its pages, the Door's Senior Contributing Editor, Becky Garrison, has written a provocative satire on the relationship of politics and the church -- taking potshots at both right and left. The book is entitled: Red and Blue God, Black and Blue Church: Eyewitness Accounts of How American Churches are Hijacking Jesus, Bagging, the Beatitudes, and Worshiping the Almighty Dollar, (Jossey-Bass, 2006). It has its ups and downs as a book, but its a quick read that will help refocus one's attention off of the political grind to the gospel call.

I've written just a little bit more on my blog-- http://pastorbobcornwall.blogspot.com.
