Then Tweets My Soul
$12.00
“It used to be that the pastor’s wife was huge and the sanctuary was smokin’ hot.” So observes the Church Curmudgeon (@ChrchCurmudgeon), the Internet’s most infamous purveyor of fine vintage Christian whines. With more than nine thousand tweets and ninety thousand followers (so far), he’s proven himself a stalwart of holy hilarity for all the people who know “it ain’t the way it used to be, I’ll tell you that.” This poetic collection of the Curmudgeon’s best 140-character compositions will make you ROFL as you recognize the regular cast of churchy characters, including the worship leader, the usher team, and maybe even yourself. A few more from the book to whet your appetite: Q: How many Baptists does it take to change a light bulb in the sanctuary? A: They can’t. That would involve raising their hands in church. Jesus saved my soul. Peter’s vision saved my bacon. He’s so Methodist, he goes to Sprinklin’ Donuts.

Render Unto Caesar
$28.99Add to cartThe revered Bible scholar and author of The Historical Jesus explores the Christian culture wars–the debates over church and state–from a biblical perspective, exploring the earliest tensions evident in the New Testament, and offering a way forward for Christians today.
Leading Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan, the author of the pioneering work The Historical Jesus, provides new insight into the Christian culture wars which began in the New Testament and persist strongly today.
For decades, Americans have been divided on how Christians should relate to government and lawmakers, a dispute that has impacted every area of society and grown more rancorous over the past forty years. But as Crossan makes clear, this debate isn’t new; it can be found in the New Testament itself, most notably in the tensions between Luke-Acts and Revelations.
In the texts of Luke-Acts, Rome is considered favorably. In the book of Revelations, Rome is seen as the embodiment of evil in the world. Yet there is an alternative to these two extremes, Crossan explains. The historical Jesus and Paul, the earliest Christian teachers, were both strongly opposed to Rome, yet neither demonized the Empire.
Crossan sees in Jesus and Paul’s approach a model for Christians today that can be used to cut through the acrimony and polarization roiling our society and dividing us.
