Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From one of the countrys most respected religion reporters, a paradigmshifting discussion of how the Religious Left is actually the moral compass that has long steered Americas political debates, including today.Since the ascendancy of the Religious Right in the 1970s, common wisdom holds that it is a coalition of fundamentalist powerbrokers who are the moral majority, setting the standard for conservative Christian values and working to preserve the status quo.But, as national religion reporter Jack Jenkins contends, the country is also driven by a vibrant, longstanding moral force from the left. Constituting an amorphous group of interfaith activists that goes by many names and takes many forms, this coalition has operated since Americas founding praying, protesting, and marching for common goals that have moved society forward. Throughout our history, the Religious Left has embodied and championed the progressive values at the heart of American democracyabolition, labor reform, civil rights, environmental preservation.Drawing on his years of reporting, Jenkins examines the reemergence of progressive faithbased activism, detailing its origins and contrasting its goals with those of the Religious Right. Todays rapidly expanding interfaith coalition which includes Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and other faiths has become a force within the larger resistance movement. Jenkins profiles Washington political insidersincluding former White House staffers and faith outreach directors for the campaigns of Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Hillary Clintonas well as a new generation of progressive faith leaders at the forefront today, including: Rev. William Barber II, leader of North Carolinas Moral Mondays and cochair of the nationwide Poor Peoples campaign Linda Sarsour, cochair of the Womens March Rev. Traci Blackmon, a pastor near Ferguson, Missouri who works to lift up black liberation efforts across the country Sister Simone Campbell, head of the Catholic social justice lobby and the Nuns on the Bus tour organizer Native American water protectors who demonstrated against the Dakota Access Pipeline in Standing Rock Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishopAn exciting reevaluation of Americas moral center and an inspiring portrait of progressive faithinaction, American Prophets will change the way we think about the intersection of politics and religion.
