Jesus vs. Rome: Enlightenment over Empire is a clear, practice-first manifesto for people who love Jesus and refuse domination. Cutting through pageantry and panic, it returns to Jesus' own plumb-line-"by their fruits you will know them"-and shows how to build communities where truth lives in the light, the small are safe, and mercy beats sacrifice. From Babylon to Rome to the algorithms of today, it maps how empire works-and how the Beatitudes, Jubilee, and keys-as-verbs (binding harms, loosing goods) undo it in real budgets, bylaws, and daily habits.
This is not a culture-war screed nor an attack on sincere believers; it is a scathing but hopeful exhortation to redesign power as service of the good. With concise tools, sidebars, and "fruit checks," the book turns big theology into practical steps-debt relief, open books, record sealing, federated leadership-so churches and neighbours alike can make release a normal way of life.
