Book ID/图书代码： 02740006B04684

English Summary/英文概要： "I join the ranks of those who are angry, because I have watched as the faith I love has been taken over by fundamentalists who claim to speak for Jesus but whose actions are anything but Christian." - Robin Meyers, from his "Speech Heard Round the World" Millions of Americans are outraged at the Bush administration’s domestic and foreign policies and even angrier that the nation’s religious conservatives have touted these policies as representative of moral values. Why the Christian Right Is Wrong is a rousing manifesto that will ignite the collective conscience of all whose faith and values have been misrepresented by the Christian Right. Praise for Why the Christian Right Is Wrong: "In the pulpit, Robin Meyers is the new generation’s Harry Emerson Fosdick, George Buttrick, and Martin Luther King. In these pages, you will find a stirring message for our times, from a man who believes that God’s love is universal, that the great Jewish prophets are as relevant now as in ancient times, and that the Jesus who drove the money changers from the Temple may yet inspire us to embrace justice and compassion as the soul of democracy. This is not a book for narrow sectarian minds; read it, and you will want to change the world." -Bill Moyers "In this book, a powerful and authentic religious voice from America’s heartland holds up a mirror to the Bush administration and its religious allies. The result is a vision of Orwellian proportions in which values are inverted and violence, hatred, and bigotry are blessed by one known as ’The Prince of Peace,’ who called us to love our enemies. If you treasure this country and tremble over its present direction, this book is a must-read!" -John Shelby Spong author, The Sins of Scripture: Exposing the Bible’s Texts of Hate to Reveal the God of Love "This is a timely warning and a clarion call to the church to recover the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to a great nation to resist the encroachment of the Christian Right and of Christian fascism. Many of us in other parts of the world are praying fervently that these calls will be heeded." -Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Chinese Summary/中文概要： “我也感同身受，我也义愤填膺，因为我悲悯地目睹着，我所深爱着的信仰正遭到不断的践踏和戕害，基要派们不断鼓吹说，他们代表着上帝，可是他们的所作所为，却恰恰与基督教背道而驰。”-- 牧师罗宾.迈耶斯
罗宾来自美国联合基督教会，2004年11月份他发表了著名的反战演说，随后他的名字便连同其演说一同，横跨世界各地，迅速于互联网上传播了开来。
时下，广大美国民众对于布什政府一系列的国内外政策深表不满，而更加招致民愤沸腾的是，众多宗教保守派人士更是不惜为其招魂，围绕着这些政策进行大肆鼓吹，称其是代表了社会道德价值的全新标杆。
而《右翼的谎言》一书，正是围绕这点展开了尖锐的剖析，对于那些饱受右翼毒害、信仰与价值遭到错误异变及扭曲的人们而言，本书无疑将为他们带来一次深刻的反思。身处于讲道坛之上的罗宾.迈耶斯，俨然已成为了当代的哈利.爱默生.福斯迪克、乔治.布屈克、甚至是马丁路德金。
跨越宗教派系狭隘的隔阂，它转而赋予了你渴望改变这个世界的勇气。从书中你会感受到激荡在字里行间的一股声音，它代表了这个年代，慷慨激昂、掷地有声；它发自肺腑，代表了源自美国中心地域最为纯正的宗教呼声；它仿佛是一面真实的镜子，径直地横在布什当局和其宗教盟友之前。
这是一次适时的警世，亦是一声响亮的号召；它敦促着所有教会，去重拾基督福音书的初旨；它鞭策着这个国家，去遏制基督右翼及极端主义的肆虐横行。(ANDY)
