A Heaven-Backed Rebellion: Uncovering the Political Vision of Christian Liberals

"Kerr's book has taken a monumental step forward by removing the obstacles that typically hinder people of different views to converse, think, and act together in constructive ways. I would feel just as comfortable giving the book to a Christian pastor as I would an Atheist activist, and people spanning the whole political spectrum," says Jim Palmer, author of Divine Nobodies and Wide Open Spaces. By way of unadorned reason, scriptures, and the occasional irreverent observation, Kerr builds the contrarian's case that theologically conservative Christians should actually be political liberals while the typically Godless Left must reinstall an explicitly faith-centered engine to the progressive movement. In this new era of Obama-style politics, A Heaven-Backed Rebellion is a strikingly original, uniquely clear, and surprisingly humorous approach to a holistic Biblical worldview that seeks to reclaim even the very term of liberal for Christ.
