Common Good Faith - How Right-Wing Evangelicals Are Destroying Our Nation and Our Faith with Dr. Obery Hendricks

Doug Pagitt sits down with Dr. Obery Hendricks Jr. to talk about his new book Christians Against Christianity: How Right-Wing Evangelicals Are Destroying Our Nation and Our Faith. 

Dr. Obery Hendricks, Jr, who Cornel West calls, "one of the last few grand prophetic intellectuals," is a lifelong activist and arguably the most influential African American Biblical scholar writing today.

 

In the wake of the deadly insurrectionist attack on the US Capitol, Christians Against Christianity is a clarion call to stand up to the hypocrisy of the evangelical Right, as well as a guide for Christians to return their faith to the life-affirming message that Jesus brought and died for. What Hendricks offers is a provocative diagnosis, an urgent warning that right-wing evangelicals’ aspirations for Christian nationalist supremacy are a looming threat, not only to Christian decency but to democracy itself. What they offer to America is anything but good news.
