- Summary:
-
"Over the past thirty years, while the Religious Right has developed into one of the most powerful forces in American politics, the Religious Left - despite having a rich historical tradition of leading social change in the United States - has been unable to develop into a movement with the scale or coherence of the Religious Right." "Dispatches from the Religious Left: The Future of Faith and Politics in America is a groundbreaking and visionary collection that offers a progressive counter-voice to the Religious Right's dominance over the religious conversation in America."
"Edited by Frederick Clarkson, with an introduction by Joan Brown Campbell and an afterword by Jeff Sharlet, Dispatches features many of today's most prominent progressive religious voices. Taken together, the bold, energetic and forward-looking essays in this essential collection show how we can begin to build a thriving and dynamic Religious Left that can offer a new and healthier religious and political direction for this country."--BOOK JACKET.
