An Upcoming Book: Preaching in the Era of Trump
The author of this book, Rev. Dr. O. Wesley Allen, Jr., is someone I know. His book will be worth the read when it hits the bookstore, Amazon, or your favorite book outlet. He published at Patheos.com some comments about few responses he received on Facebook when the book was first promoted. Here is a paragraph and a link to read his entire post.
Preaching in the Era of Trump
Rev. Dr. O. Wesley Allen Jr, Patheos.com, Feb 21, 2017“But I struggle to understand how those who claim to embrace the radical ethic of the Christian faith—the gospel ethic of caring for the disenfranchised, marginalized, and oppressed “others” of society—can claim to have voted for Trump out of Christian values when there were other Republican and Democratic candidates from whom to pick. Voters are used to choosing between “the lesser of evils,” but there is no serious Christian standard by which Trump can be argued to be that choice.”
