American evangelical faith has been corrupted by a series of forces at work in America - consumerism, the economy, and American politics - and has become idolatrous. Using Paul's letter to the Romans as a starting point, the author "reads" the letter to today's American church. With provocative discussions of Christian hypocrisy, megachurches, the ways in which Christian ideas are distressingly combined with private property and market-driven economics, thus blurring boundaries between law and religion, and other topics, Stevenson offers an analysis of where the American church finds itself, and how that place is quite different from that of which Paul wrote. He seeks to answer the question: In this age of consumerism and politicization of religion, how will the church reject the idolatry of Jesus as a brand and embrace Him as He asked to be?
