Description
In Who Speaks for God? prominent social activist and pastor Jim Wallis examines the platform of the self-designated Religious Right to reveal how its positions actually conflict with the Bible. He also exposes the humanistic policies of the secular Left for what they have proven themselves to be: programs devoid of values and spirituality. In this readable and insightful investigation of our political life, pastor Wallis discusses three touchstones for understanding and assessing the principles of a balanced society: compassion, community, and civility. How should we treat the poor? How do we accomplish some sense of unity with life-affirming values and vision? And how do we honor one another's differences? Our journey through these touchstones of political life can restore a sense of "soul" to society and reinvigorate the spirit of our country.
