American Prophets: The Religious Roots of Progressive Politics and the Ongoing Fight for the Soul of the Country by Jack Jenkins
4.0
I was not aware of the Religious Left at all and found this is an amazing rallying cry for social justice advocates in faith communities and a nice beacon of hope in face of our current dumpster fire of an administration. Discusses Obama’s influence by RL advocates in a way I had never fully heard of or considered.
Shows faith groups grappling with their conservative faiths, and reimagining and reclaiming their doctrine. Discusses a wide variety of religions and denominations, as well as many advocates I would have expected in a book about progressive politics and faith-based advocacy.
Covers the issues around: BLM and black liberation theology, queer rights and queer theology, islamaphobia and anti-semitism, environmental and indigenous advocacy, capitalism and liberation theology, and immigration.
