If Jesus were alive today, would he: feed the poor - or give tax
breaks to the super rich? Comfort the old and infirm - or cut Social
Security? Build bridges that unite - or build walls that divide? Make
peace - or make war?
In the revised edition of this groundbreaking book, noted author and
theologian Linda Seger, Th.D., explores what it means to be a
Christian and a Democrat - and shows how the two are not mutually
exclusive but rather inclusive. She reveals the close relationship
between Democratic policy and Jesus' teachings and the many ways in
which the values Jesus espouses in the Bible correspond to the values
Democrats call their own. The idea that America's real Christians vote
strictly Republican crumbles when one studies the platforms of both
parties. Jesus Rode a Donkey reminds the reader that Jesus and the
prophets had a radical, progressive message that calls individuals and
nations to feed the hungry, help the poor, heal the sick, care for the
earth, free the oppressed, and love our enemies. The book won the
Silver Medal Christian Living Illumination Book Award given for
exemplary Christian writing.
