About This Book

Breaking Bad Faith examines the connection between conservative evangelical theology and cultural politics, arguing that doctrines of divine retribution, original depravity, and cosmic punishment are not incidental to the American right's policy positions but foundational to them. Michael Camp draws on his own evangelical deconstruction to make the case that a different reading of Christian history and scripture points toward peace and restoration rather than punishment.

Adam Lofbomm narrates with an even, thoughtful tone that suits the theological argument's careful, evidence-based approach. The audiobook functions best for listeners inside or adjacent to evangelical culture who are working through their own questions about the relationship between faith and violence, and Lofbomm's delivery honors the seriousness of the inquiry without advocacy.
