Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
On January 6, 2021, hundreds of Americans stormed the Capitol to prevent the certification of their political opponent’s election. At the forefront were Christians claiming to act in the name of Jesus Christ and his supposed representative on earth, Donald Trump. How can this have happened? David P. Gushee tackles the question in this timely work of Christian political ethics. Gushee calls us to preserve democratic norms, including constitutional government, the rule of law, and equal rights for all, even as many Christians take a reactionary and antidemocratic stance.

Great book, so-so narration
Reviewed: 05-11-24
This is Gushee’s best book to date, well researched, layered, and hopeful in the end. The narrator has an annoying habit to barely whisper every last syllable before he takes a breath. If you are slightly hard of hearing you will have trouble enjoying this in audio format. (This is the first time I have experienced this after listening to many books on Audible and many podcasts.)
