Creation or Empire: A Choice of Religions in the Bible and Beyond

Wes’s brilliant volumes “Come Out My People!” and “Empire Baptized,” offer a comprehensive interpretation of the Bible and church history in terms of the struggle between a “Religion of Creation” (represented by the prophets and Jesus) and the Religion of Empire. Together, they are 800pp. This short volume, aimed at a general audience, will summarize those volumes and show their relevance for today.
