The Bible Tells Me So: Uses and Abuses of Holy Scripture

Jim Hill; Rand Cheadle

Synopsis:
Throughout history preachers, politicians and pundits have selectively used the Bible to reach often contradictory conclusions on the great issues of morality and politics: from women's rights, abortion, and celibacy for the clergy to war, civil rights, the environment, the separation of church and state - even appropriate hairstyles. Illustrated throughout, The Bible Tells Me So illuminates historical and current events where religion, politics, and power collide and Holy Scripture is used and abused to influence public opinion and policy. Now, as much as ever, those in control are convinced they have all the right answers. The Bible tells them so.
