Description
A critique of televangelists and the leaders of mega-churches who preach a Christianity that ignores the actual doctrine of Jesus offers an exposé of the Religious Right's pro-war, anti-gay, and pro-greed creed, which runs counter to Jesus's actual teachings, with specific criticism of such figures as Ted Haggard, Pat Robertson, Ann Coulter, and others. Reprint.
