Summary: What A Must READ Book!
Comment: I got this book because I was curious about everything I hear from Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and the likes. It is a stunning confrontationl masterpiece. It is very blunt and to the point. I was shocked at the things that are in the book.

I have heard that Pat Robertson resigned from the Christian Coalition because of this book. It must be true! There is solid biblical facts that NO ONE can deny! I now understand why Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Kennedy and John Hagee will not openly discuss the book with the author. It will EXPOSE each of them!

I sat and cried and repented for my actions and ignorance. R. Johnston is a hard hitting reformer that future generations will read about some day. I must admit that the book just ate me up on the insides because I WAS politically active as a Christian. NEVER AGAIN!

There is a chapter on Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and the problems in the BLACK community and church that is RIGHT ON! Being a black pastor I encourage every black pastor to read this book and make the changes that are needed and revealed to us by this TRUE Prophet from God.

May God have mercy and help us all to change.

Pastor Ron Wilson

Summary: An important and unique perspective
Comment: Too often we easily accept christianities role in the political arena, without seriously investegating the biblical justifications for such actions. Christians throughout history in the name of different political and idealogical dogmas, have repeatedly found justifications for all forms of cruelty, persecution, and general wrong-doings. Even Christ's own crucification was a politically motivated event. It is very easy to want to pick up the banner of the latest politically motivated christian movement and wave your flag and beat your own drum in the name of all-holy christendom, without seriously investigating the biblical foundation of such actions. I believe if you take the time to read Politics or Christ, you will become more discerning and informed about this important issue in today's christianity.

In many ways, Politics or Christ, is a hard read. It is filled with strong and direct language that could be easily misunderstood as accusatory and overly-stated. However, if you take the time to investigate the biblical foundations of what Mr. Johnston is saying you will find that his logic is clear and concise. It is stylistically overtly confrontational, it literally contains name calling and finger pointing, directed at some very well respected and popular leaders of many Christian movements. At first you may find yourself admonishing Mr. Johnston for his actions, but, more importantly. after reading this book, you may find that you are in complete agreement with him. Finally, if you have courage, and an open mind, I think that this book may change your entire perspective on Politics and Christ.

At first I was disgusted, and then later I was intrigued and shocked, and then finally I laid the book down. I wasn't sure that I could finish the book without having to search deep down in my soul, groping and grasping for all my previously, and now shattered, beliefs. I did finish the book, and now I am proud to point fingers at those who do such great harm to the body of Christ. I know now that sometimes the greatest enemies of my saviour are those who proclaim to be his greatest advocates. Please consider this book, and read it to the end. It may change you more than you want to be changed.

Summary: Biased opinions and beliefs!
Comment: This book is a package of biased and opinionated words and beliefs under the guise of Christianity. He uses scripture to justify his claims and calls them truths. The author attacks key Chirstian political leaders and Christian groups and the people and/or groups they represent but fail to include himself in the same category. Do not be fooled by the hype! The author makes racist claims against the African American communities based on the behavior of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. The author is ill-informed concernings non-white groups in America. If Christianianity is about name calling and fault finding then I am not interested in becoming a Christian. This book is propagandic in nature and has racial overtones!
