Book review: The God Who Riots, Taking Back the Radical Jesus by Damon Garcia
My priest suggested instead of just giving something up for Lent, we should take something in. One of the things she suggested was reading theology books. I took this opportunity to read The God Who Riots, a book I had heard praised by fellow Christian leftists/anarchists but one I had not gotten around to reading yet. I just finished it, so I want to express my thoughts on it.
Once again I am hit with the feeling of how fucking different right-wing Christianity and left-wing Christianity, or as Fredrick Douglass put it "The Christianity of the land vs the Christianity of Christ" are. Garcia was raised in an evangelical background and he notes throughout the book that his drawing ever closer and closer to Christ would have him labelled a heretic (side note: real fucking funny for people who don't even know what the Nicene Creed is to use the word heretic, but that is just inside baseball bitching on my part).
He makes a convincing case on how Christ was in everything from the Stonewall riots to the burning of the police station in Minneapolis.
He references throughout the tension between the Christians who leverage their faith to keep the status quo and continue exploitation (everything from the Calvinist colonizers who used double predestination to justify exploiting foreigners to comfortable liberals who tut tut at BLM protesting in inconvenient places like the Mall of America)
Prison abolition, racial reparations, LGBTQ rights, anti-capitalism, its got a little bit of something for everyone. I would like to conclude by adding in one highlighted quote from each chapter.
