Description
Christianity in America has become unrecognizable, a Frankenstein’s monster of faith stitched together with nationalism, draped in the flag, and charged with political voltage. We’ve traded the revolutionary love of Christ for a corporate-style religion that Jesus himself would get crucified for criticizing.
Questions we’re terrified to ask but must:
- Why are there so many terms and conditions to love your neighbor?
- How did we create a version of Christianity that Christ would die opposing?
- Why have nationalism and religion become so dangerously intertwined?
- Why does the word goddamnit make us clutch our pearls?
- What if following American Christianity means leaving Jesus behind?
- When did the term Christian become just another marketing demographic?
- How did Christianity in America come to resemble a cult more than a faith?
Through an unflinching exploration of שָׁוְא (shav’) – the Hebrew concept of taking God’s name in vain – this book peels back the layers of American Christianity to expose what happens when we substitute cultural religion for Christ’s radical love.
Whether you’re angry at the church, disillusioned with religion, or just sensing there’s got to be more than this – this book is an invitation to unlearn. To question. To deconstruct. And perhaps, to find out what your faith could mean once you’ve shed the weight of cultural Christianity.
The deadliest lies are the ones we tell ourselves in God’s name.
