Doug Pagitt sits down with Dr. Obery Hendricks Jr. to talk about his new book Christians Against Christianity: How Right-Wing Evangelicals Are Destroying Our Nation and Our Faith.

Dr. Obery Hendricks, Jr, who Cornel West calls, “one of the last few grand prophetic intellectuals,” is a lifelong activist and arguably the most influential African American Biblical scholar writing today.

In the wake of the deadly insurrectionist attack on the US Capitol, Christians Against Christianity is a clarion call to stand up to the hypocrisy of the evangelical Right, as well as a guide for Christians to return their faith to the life-affirming message that Jesus brought and died for. What Hendricks offers is a provocative diagnosis, an urgent warning that right-wing evangelicals’ aspirations for Christian nationalist supremacy are a looming threat, not only to Christian decency but to democracy itself. What they offer to America is anything but good news.
