Download God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It AudioBook Free
Because when did believing in God and having moral values cause you to pro-war, pro-rich, and solely pro-Republican? And since when did promoting and pursuing a progressive social agenda with a problem for financial security, healthcare, and educational opportunity mean you'd to put faith in God aside?God's Politics offers a clarion call to make both our religious communities and our government more accountable to key values of the prophetic religious tradition -- that is, make them pro-justice, pro-peace, pro-environment, pro-equality, and pro-family (without making scapegoats of single mothers or gays). Our biblical faith and religious traditions simply don't allow us as a nation to keep to disregard the poor and marginalized, deny racial justice, tolerate the ravages of war, or turn away from the human rights of these manufactured in the image of God. They are the values of love and justice, reconciliation, and community that Jesus taught and that are in the core of what many of us believe, Christian or not. Jim Wallis inspires us to hold our political leaders and policies accountable by integrating our deepest moral convictions into our nation's public life.Read by Sam Freed
