| Description: |
Biblical scholar Wes Howard-Brook explores the Bible as a continuing struggle between two opposing visions: the "Religion of Creation," rooted in justice, compassion, and God's care for all life, and the "Religion of Empire," marked by domination, violence, and oppression. Drawing on decades of scholarship, Howard-Brook traces this conflict from the Hebrew prophets and Jesus through church history and into today's political and social realities.
Howard-Brook argues that many forms of Christianity have aligned themselves with imperial power rather than the teachings of Jesus. He challenges readers to recover a faith grounded in nonviolence, community, and care for creation. Combining biblical insight with contemporary relevance, the book offers a compelling call to resist systems of empire and embrace God's vision of justice and peace. |
