Since when did believing in God and having moral values make you pro-war, pro-wealth, and pro-Republican? And since when did promoting and pursuing a progressive social agenda with a concern for economic security, health care, and educational opportunity mean you had to put aside faith in God? While the Right in America has hijacked the language of faith to prop up its political agenda, the Left hasnâ??t done much better, largely ignoring faith and continually separating moral discourse and personal ethics from public policy. The consequence is a false choice between ideological religion and soulless politics. In the New York Times bestseller Godâ??s Politics, Jim Wallis argues that separation of church and state does not require banishing moral and religious values from public discourse. In fact, the United States depends on such values and vision to shape our politics - something that was recognized by the nationâ??s founders. Jim Wallis is the founder and editor of Sojourner magazine, and the president and convener of â??Call to Renewal," a national federation of churches and faith-based organizations who work with the government to overcome poverty and revitalize American politics. Time magazine named Wallis one of the â??50 Faces for Americaâ??s Future," and he has been a Visiting Fellow at Harvardâ??s Kennedy School of Government. His books include Faith Works, The Soul of Politics and Call to Conversion. â??It is a reminder that Martin Luther King may have had a bible in one hand, but he had the Constitution in the other." - New York Times Book Review | God's Politics by Jim Wallis Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Religion > Christianity P10107, Jim Wallis<
