A New Evangelical Manifesto: A Kingdom Vision for the Common Good
The word prophetic is tossed around rather promiscuously these days, butA New Evangelical Manifesto truly deserves to be seen in light of that longtradition of calling religious people to reflection, responsibility and action.It gathers together an extraordinarily thoughtful group of men and womenwho consider the central political questions with both eloquence andclarity. --E. J. DIONNE, syndicated columnist and author ofOur Divided Political HeartAn urgent, important manifesto. You need not agree with everything here torecognize this volume as a ringing summons to more faithfully follow Jesus callto radical discipleship. Precisely those who confess that Jesus is true God andtrue man must always be eager to repent of ways that fallen culture has seducedChristians into abandoning Jesus' radical teaching. This book helps us do that. --RONALD J. SIDER, Eastern University and Evangelicals for Social ActionNot only a sweeping view of the profound changes among America s evangelicalsbut also a vision of how social change should proceed that is nothing less thanan inspiration for all America... It should once and for all dash stereotypes ofevangelicals. Indeed, those interested in policies leading to a less fractious andviolent future must seriously consider the ideas in this book. --MARCIA PALLY, New York University, author ofThe New Evangelicals: Expanding the Vision of the Common Good
