The soul of politics : beyond "Religious right" and… af Jim Wallis
The Soul of Politics responds to signs of cultural breakdown and political impasse with a resounding call to reintegrate politics and spirituality. The author shares why both liberal and conservative visions are inadequate to the challenges before us.
Jim Wallishas dared to make the salvation that is in Jesus Christ historically specific. He has proclaimed the gospel in the context of the American obsession with affluence, good feelings, and global domination. The call to conversion is both prophetic and pastoral, both tough and tender.
An anthology of essays on the renewed conscience of Christian churches as they relate to struggles for peace and social justice.
