Ideology in America: Challenges to FaithWestminster John Knox Press, 01/01/1997 - 139 páginas In this prophetic and inspiring call to justice, peace, and economic democracy, Alan Geyer proposes strategies for mainline churches and ecumenical institutions as they encounter assaults from conservative religious groups. Carefully tracing the changing political and social landscape of America since the era of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, and the role of the Christian Right in that change. Geyer denounces the smug creed that "business is good; government is bad." With passion and trademark clarity he urges all people of goodwill to renew their commitment to the poor and the disadvantaged. |
