American Prophets: The Religious Roots of Progressive Politics and the Ongoing Fight for the Soul of the Country by Jack Jenkins

informative reflective medium-paced

3.25

I think the book does a fine job of covering the topics that it chose to cover. I was maybe expecting or hoping for some more depth in terms of philosophical and historical origins of progressive movements. That seems to be what the subtitle's "roots" alludes to, but the book doesn't really get into that. As an overview of current religious progressive movements, it is informative though.
