Product Description

Review

"In Kingdom Coming, [Goldberg] has produced some excellent firsthand reporting of [the fundamentalists'] essential weirdness, even as she overcame their aversion to her Jewishness." Stephen Bates, The Guardian"


Product Description

Taking the reader on a journey through a country in the grips of a fevered religious radicalism, in "Kingdom Coming", Michelle Goldberg demonstrates how the growing influence of dominionism - the doctrine that Christians have the right to rule non-believers - is threatening the foundations of democracy. "Kingdom Coming" offers the powerful testimony of "regular" Americans to illustrate the subversive effect of a conservative stranglehold, and it urges Americans to turn their attention to the mechanisms of an insidious fundamentalism opposed to science, pluralism and reason. It contains a new epilogue.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a good woman wants for everybody, 14 Jan 2008
By Brian Griffith (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
As a Jewish American woman, Goldberg is rightfully concerned when Christian Nationalists demand an officially Christian state. She is moved to gather detail on what such radicals actually want for the future. And some want a full restoration of Old Testament law, perhaps as practiced in the Puritans' Massachusetts Bay Colony, including the death penalty for witchcraft, blasphemy, adultery and homosexuality. Other radicals appeal for a new struggle to establish Christianity throughout the world. As she cites George Grant from in the late 1980s,

"Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ -- to have dominion in civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness.
But it is dominion we are after; Not just a voice.
It is dominion we are after. Not just influence.
It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time.
It is dominion we are after.
World conquest. That's what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the Gospel. And we must never settle for anything less ..." (p. 158)

Goldberg doesn't contest whether such Christian Nationalists represent religion as Jesus taught it. She just appeals to the U.S. Constitution in defense of all religious minorities. But since the Constitution enshrines some of the values which can be found in the Bible (such respect for other people) perhaps she has a certain appeal to religious values after all. In defending her society's freedom from church control, she is also fighting for the freedom of religion from state control.
