"If anyone was ever a socialist, it was Jesus."—Kelley Rose, Democratic Socialists of America Economist and historian Lawrence W. Reed has been hearing people say "Jesus was a socialist" for fifty years. And it has always bothered him. Now he is doing something about it. His new book demolishes the claim that Jesus was a socialist. Jesus called on earthly governments to redistribute wealth? Or centrally plan the economy? Or even impose a welfare state? Hardly. Point by point, Reed answers the claims of socialists and progressives who try to enlist Jesus in their causes. As he reveals, nothing in the New Testament supports their contentions. Was Jesus a Socialist? could not be more timely. Socialism has made a shocking comeback in America. Poll after poll shows that young Americans have a positive image of socialism. In fact, more than half say they would rather live in a socialist country than in a capitalist one. And as socialism has come back into vogue, more and more of its advocates have tried to convince us that Jesus was a socialist. This rhetoric has had an impact. According to a 2016 poll by the Barna Group, Americans think socialism aligns better with Jesus's teachings than capitalism does. When respondents were asked which of that year's presidential candidates aligned closest to Jesus's teachings, a self-proclaimed "democratic socialist" came out on top. Sure enough, the same candidate earned more primary votes from under-thirty voters than did the eventual Democratic and Republican nominees combined. And in a 2019 survey, more than 70 percent of millennials said they were likely to vote for a socialist. Was Jesus a Socialist? expands on the immensely popular video of the same name that Reed recorded for Prager University in July 2019. That video has attracted more than four million views online. Ultimately, Reed shows the foolishness of trying to enlist Jesus in any political cause today. He writes: "While I don't believe it is valid to claim that Jesus was a socialist, I also don't think it is valid to argue that he was a capitalist. Neither was he a Republican or a Democrat. These are modern-day terms, and to apply any of them to Jesus is to limit him to but a fraction of who he was and what he taught."

Why was Oklahoma, of all places, more hospitable to socialism than any other state in America? In this provocative book, Jim Bissett chronicles the rise and fall of the Socialist Party of Oklahoma during the first two decades of the twentieth century, when socialism in the United States enjoyed its golden age. To explain socialism’s popularity in Oklahoma, Bissett looks back to the state’s strong tradition of agrarian reform. Drawing most of its support from working farmers, the Socialist Party of Oklahoma was rooted in such well-established organizations as the Farmers Alliance and the Indiahoma Farmers’ Union. And to broaden its appeal, the Party borrowed from the ideology both of the American Revolution and of Christianity. By making Marxism speak in American terms, the author argues, Party activists counteracted the prevailing notion that socialism was illegitimate or un-American.

Socialism trending in America? Is this really happening? In a word: yes.But perhaps even more surprising is the fact that it's not just those on the far left who are embracing socialist ideals. Many self proclaimed Christ followers are as well, confidently claiming that Jesus Christ himself was the first socialist. In addition, they assert, if the Son of God was a socialist, then the original disciples of Jesus also practiced and taught socialism. Therefore, if we would be true followers of Christ today, we must get on board with the Marxist mindset. The world-altering potential of this claim-if it is true, or if it is false-is far greater than most people realize. This notion could be the most pivotal issue of our lifetime, not to mention all of history. Ultimately, what we believe about Jesus and socialism will determine a great deal of our future - individually, corporately, and beyond. In fact, it is already having, and will continue to have a profound impact on the world, as well as on you and me, whether we realize it or not.Written by a long-time biblical counselor and teacher, this book provides solid biblical answers on a crucial topic that families, churches, and communities desperately need in order to be equipped in our rapidly changing world.

Know the Truth; Avoid Being Deceived! Pastor David Hope peels back the curtain of the American political system and exposes the truth behind many of the unbiblical forces that are attempting to hijack the county. From a biblical perspective, Hope analyzes many issues, such as… The government-forced redistribution of wealth The politics of envy The link between socialism and “social justice” What Scripture says about an end-time transfer of the world’s wealth Why Americans must stand in defense of Israel Freedom was given to us by God, and we must not let go of it at any cost! “This compelling work by David Hope aroused my passions. I found it inspirational and thought provoking, penned by a true patriot and lover of liberty! Inspirational, because it was packed full of encouragement to be all that we were created to be—to rise up and lay hold of our God-given destinies and to realize that Christians have all been endowed with gifts from above and given the great opportunity to be participants in the end-time harvest of souls. Thought provoking, because Reverend Hope clears away the confusion by wielding the sword of truth.” —Lee Short, Missionary to Mexico, Founder and president, Vida International
