"Dear Mr. Beck"

Résumé du livre

With this collection of sermons, Dr. Michael Bledsoe of Riverside Baptist Church in Washington DC, Adjunct Professor at Howard University School of Divinity, confronts Glenn Beck's assertions about liberal churches and the proclamation of social justice. This collection spans over a decade of sermons that speak to the inclusion of homosexuals as full human beings in our churches ("These Scars, God's Grace"), the contagion of violence promulgated through right wing radio ("Violence is Contagious") and, of course, the infamous Beckian call for people to leave churches that proclaim social justice ("Dear Mr. Beck"). No matter which side of the political spectrum you find yourself, these sermons will be of interest to you for they do not hide from confrontation. Indeed, they are rooted within a profound respect of scripture and offer a withering critique of what passes for church in America today. Updated in 2013 with an additional sermon.
