Since the ascendancy of the religious right in the 1970s, common wisdom holds that it is a coalition of fundamentalist power brokers who are the "moral majority", setting the standard for conservative Christian values and working to preserve the status quo. But, as national religion reporter Jack Jenkins contends, the country is also driven by a vibrant, long-standing moral force from the left. Constituting an amorphous group of interfaith activists that goes by many names and takes many forms, this coalition has operated since America's founding - praying, protesting, and marching for common goals that have moved society forward. Throughout our history, the religious left has embodied and championed the progressive values at the heart of American democracy - abolition, labor reform, civil rights, environmental preservation. Drawing on his years of reporting, Jenkins examines the reemergence of progressive faith-based activism, detailing its origins and contrasting its goals with those of the religious right. Today's rapidly expanding interfaith coalition - which includes Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and other faiths - has become a force within the larger "resistance" movement. Jenkins profiles Washington political insiders - including former White House staffers and faith outreach directors for the campaigns of Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton - as well as a new generation of progressive faith leaders at the forefront today, including: Rev. William Barber II, leader of North Carolina's Moral Mondays and co-chair of the nationwide Poor People's campaign Linda Sarsour, co- chair of the Women's March Rev. Traci Blackmon, a pastor near Ferguson, Missouri, who works to lift up black liberation efforts across the country Sister Simone Campbell, head of the Catholic social justice lobby and the "Nuns on the Bus" tour organizer Native American "water protectors" who demonstrated against the Dakota Access Pipeline in Standing Rock Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop An exciting reevaluation of America's moral center and an inspiring portrait of progressive faith-in-action, American Prophets will change the way we think about the intersection of politics and religion. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Christianity and politics|zUnited States|xHistory|y21st century. 650 0 Progressivism (United States politics)|xReligious aspects |xChristianity. 650 0 Liberalism|xReligious aspects|xChristianity. 650 0 Liberalism|zUnited States. 651 0 United States|xChurch history|xHistory|y21st century. 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y2009-2017. 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y2017- 700 1 Tait, Kyle,|enarrator 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12586526?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ hpc_9780062989338_180.jpeg
