Samuel Joseph for President: Media, Politics, Religion, Race

Malcolm Boyd

4.9/5 (10573 ratings)

Description:"Provocative, witty, and highly entertaining," The New York Times Book Review The venerable author of Are You Running with Me, Jesus? is still running strong in five stories that rip the mask off of contemporary American life. The title story, "Samuel Joseph for President," depicts a Jewish candidate who rattles the Christian Right and our pious assumptions of inclusiveness. The young seminary student who is the subject of "The Fantasy Worlds of Peter Stone" is seduced by the world of Hollywood film-making, ultimately finding the culture of celebrity hard to resist. In "Odor of Espresso," Father Art wants to make his parish hip by opening a coffeehouse in the church basement, with unanticipated and revealing consequences. A theatrical sketch, "A Study in Color," reminds us that race remains at the heart of the American nightmare-and that race itself is a metaphor for a disturbing lack of clarity about who we are as a people. In the final fable, "Visions of Anna Higgs," a teenager sees visions that lead to the founding of a new religion that turns accepted "truths" upside down but, with its founder's death, falls into the hands of a public relations firm and loses its way. Malcolm Boyd is an Episcopal priest and the best-selling author of 29 books, among them Are You Running with Me, Jesus? Gay elder, freedom rider, civil rights and antiwar activist, Boyd has been a teller of truth and an advocate for social justice for over fifty years.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
