In this provocative and timely book, John Fugelsang offers a critical examination of how biblical teachings are frequently co-opted by fundamentalists and those who use faith to foster division. With sharp wit and a deep commitment to the gospel, he invites readers to look beyond the rhetoric of modern political-religious alliances. This guide is written for anyone who has felt alienated by extremist interpretations of scripture and longs to reconnect with a version of the faith defined by radical love, justice, and grace. Fugelsang tackles complex cultural issues head-on, providing you with the tools to distinguish between genuine biblical morality and the influence of those who use faith for personal or political gain. Whether you are a disillusioned believer or a curious seeker, this book challenges you to take the Bible back from the headlines and rediscover a tradition centred on empathy and service to others. It is an essential read for anyone dedicated to the pursuit of a sane, compassionate, and truly authentic spiritual life.
