bookswithjm’s Notes & Highlights

Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson

1 note & 32 highlights

“Right-wing evangelicals have evolved what might be called a “Jesus personality cult” that is obsessed with the person of Jesus as spiritual savior rather than with the principles for justly living in the world that he taught and died for.”
― Obery M. Hendricks Jr., Christians Against Christianity: How Right-Wing Evangelicals Are Destroying Our Nation and Our Faith
