From the back cover: In American politics the road to the top is almost completely out of reach for those who don't follow the "one true way" --and in the Republican party that usually means being a "Christian." Nobody learned this harsh reality harder than the Mormons did in the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns.
Angered by the barrage of attacks on his faith and desperate for answers, Bryan Hall, a devout Mormon, travels to the heart of the Bible Belt to discover for himself what it means to be a "Christian." The world he discovers is more terrifying and heartwarming than he ever could have imagined. Somewhere between the growing movement to establish a Christian Nation and those who believe Christ's kingdom is not of this world, the lines between fanaticism and devotion are easily blurred. Ultimately, Hall is forced to face the same questions that he is lancing at his religious rivals.
Them and Us:Religious Rivalry in America challenges viewers to ask themselves the most difficult and revealing question in all of CHristianity: Must you--really--love your enemies to be a true disciple of Christ.
--I found this quite thought provoking and enlightening. It was NOT at all the simplistic treatment I had expected.I learned a lot.
