Introduction

At the tense intersection of biblical interpretation and contemporary politics, this book stands out as an imagined political campaign guide based on a creative deep dive into Luke's vibrant evangelical account of Jesus's messianic mission.

Purpose

It seeks to challenge any group that blithely claims Jesus's endorsement of their partisan agendas today, but especially those trumpeting authoritarian rule.

Analysis

Close attention to Luke's narrative discloses a distinctive figure who strikingly ill fits standard strongman profiles and straitjacket labels.

Warning

Warning: If Luke's Jesus doesn't change your vote, he might well change your mind, challenge your life, and shake up your politics along the way.
