In response, the Methodists hire closeted music minister Braden Miller, who was born to put on a show, and the Jesus Wars are on. As America moves into the Iraq War, the war between the churches for influence over the hearts and minds of the townspeople moves right along with it. So do the wars in individual hearts, as the main characters fight to suppress or pursue their own forbidden loves. And so does the war on nature, as climate change and a nearby quarry threaten to destroy the town.Though it is a comedy, The Jesus Wars delves into the dark side of the the turbulent post-9/11 years.
