The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion by Jonathan Haidt

5.0

As a progressive pastor currently caught up in the debate about gay marriage, I read this book to help me understand the point of view and world view of people who oppose gay marriage. Haidt helped me to understand why it is difficult for me to understand these opposing arguments. I do not rely very much on the authority, loyalty, and sanctity moral foundations, or not nearly as much as my more conservative colleagues. I used this book as a basis for a sermon series at my church. I found it challenging and helpful.
