The Hyphenated Heresy: Judeo-Christianity
At the foot of Mount Sinai, a nation met its God in thunder and fire. From that covenant flowed the faith of Abraham, Moses, and the prophets—fulfilled, not replaced, in Christ.
But somewhere between the martyrs and the modern West, that truth was blurred. Politicians and pastors began speaking of a “Judeo-Christian” civilization—a phrase born not on Sinai, but in Washington.
The Hyphenated Heresy challenges the myth of the hyphen, tracing how it reshaped Christian identity, redefined the Church’s witness, and bound modern faith to political Zionism.

God bless Joel and Jordan for writing this book.

I was very surprised to see in Chapter 14 that the authors admit that they are, indeed, obsessed about the Jews. They cowardly blame them for all of the world's problems.
Disturbingly, throughout the book, the authors constantly refer to the "Jewish Question", which they believe still needs to be solved.
The book is not scholarly or substantive. It is full of pop-level discredited conspiracy theories and things which are taken out-of-context.
The book does not represent the position of its opponents well at all and is full of straw man arguments. The book appears to mostly serve the purpose of a personal gripe against Webbon and Hall's personal enemy, Doug Wilson (the concluding chapter, Chapter 15, is dedicated to summarizing this gripe).
In being so virulently anti-Jewish, this book is opposed to Christ Himself, who was a Jew. In John 4:22, he said, "we [Jews] know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews."
When Christ returns, Isaiah 66:23 promises, "And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD." Likewise, Zechariah 14:16 promises, "And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles."
Those who oppose these things oppose Christ Himself, who according to Webbon just 3 years ago, before he transitioned, was the "Jewiest Jew who ever Jewed."

Christ should be our only civil religion.
It is no accident that the hyphenated Judeo-Christian civil religion has reached its current fever pitched hysterical apex at just the moment when Christian nationalism has begun to capture American imaginations. Christian nationalism would have Christ in his proper place as King, in all of that title's exclusivity and supremacy. It is just such exclusivity and supremacy that threatens the Judeo-Christian heresy. It has been frankly shocking to see men who have been otherwise faithful suddenly cry "We will not have this man to reign over us!"
Webbon and Hall have written an excellent and timely book that presses on the precise cultural pain point at issue today. This is where the battle rages and where the loyalty of the soldier is proved. For Christ to reign, civil pluralist idolatry must die. The Judeo- Christian hyphen is at the forefront of this battle and Webbon and Hall know it. Christ is King. His Kingdom come, his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
