Reviews

Witty, insightful . . . . A thorough, convincing study that's perfect for anyone flummoxed by misuses of the teachings of Jesus. * Publishers Weekly * Accessible and gracefully written. * Religion Dispatches * Engaging, well organized, and historically informed, this book will be valuable not only for those interested in the study of Jesus but also for students of US politics. * CHOICE * Keddie's book makes an accessible, well-written, witty, and utterly convincing case for scholarship on the (often dangerous) politics of biblical citation in the US. One hopes it will send readers to their libraries in search of much more. * Reading Religion *
