Dissenting from Donald Trump While Listening to “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Rodney Kennedy’s insights into the ways that rhetoric shapes our political reality helpfully illuminate why many Americans have betrayed their core values to support Trumpian authoritarianism. If we are to save our democracy from rising Christian nationalism, understanding how to effectively sustain dissent will be key. It’s clear that Kennedy not only believes truth is still worth fighting for, but he also offers several rich examples of how to recapture its power.”

Good and Evil in the Garden of Democracy

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Rod Kennedy’s expertise in a broad range of theology and rhetorical criticism, combined with a razor-sharp wit, unlocks a new clarity in understanding the Trump era that is both sophisticated and approachable. This book demonstrates how terms like ‘good’ and ‘evil’ can still have power at a time when words are often thought to have lost their meaning. And in the wake of January 6, our democracy might just depend on such an urgent moral imagination.”

Second Thoughts about the Second Coming

Theology

“The authors manage to take one of the messiest areas of Christian thought and make it accessible to anyone who is interested in the apocalypse and everything this topic influences. Plenty of resources, such as a handy study guide, accompany the book making it perfect for personal reading, congregational study, and/or sermon preparation. No one, not even Allen and Cornwall, knows what the future will hold — but everyone who reads this book will certainly be better equipped to think about it. And just maybe we can even work toward shaping the way it unfolds for the better.”
