The Politics of Jesus

In this book, Obery M. Hendricks, Jr. portrays Jesus as a political revolutionary whose teachings are meant to lead the way to freedom from tyranny and oppression.

Hendricks analyzes the social, economic, and political context of Jesus' time and traces how the church became a hierarchical structure protective of the powerful.

The book calls on Christians to restore the core values of Jesus' message and fight to alleviate the suffering of the underprivileged and abused peoples.
