Brand Jesus

American evangelical faith has been corrupted by a series offorces at work in America - consumerism, the economy, andAmerican politics - and has become idolatrous. Using Paul'sletter to the Romans as a starting point, the author "reads" theletter to today's American church.With provocative discussions of Christian hypocrisy, megachurches,the ways in which Christian ideas are distressingly combined withprivate property and market-driven economics, thus blurringboundaries between law and religion, and other topics, Stevensonoffers an analysis of where the American church finds itself, andhow that place is quite different from that of which Paul wrote.He seeks to answer the question: In this age of consumerism andpoliticization of religion, how will the church reject the idolatry ofJesus as a brand and embrace Him as He asked to be?Stevenson, Tyler Wigg is the author of 'Brand Jesus ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781596270497 and ISBN 1596270497.
