""Everyone who claims to be 'Christian' or else claims to be upset by 'Christianity' needs to read this book, especially politicians using people's supposed faith for their own ends."--Margaret E. Atwood. A major new work by the New York Times bestselling author, arguing that the answer to bad religion is true faith that will help re-found democracy It is time says Jim Wallis, to call out genuine faith--specifically the "Christian" in White Christian Nationalism--inviting all who can be persuaded to reject and help dismantle a false gospel that propagates white supremacy and autocracy. We need--to raise up the faith of all of us, and help those who are oblivious, stuck, and captive to the ideology and idolatry of White Christian Nationalism that is leading us to such great danger. Wallis turns our attention to six iconic texts at the heart of what genuine biblical faith means and what Jesus, in the gospels, has called us to do. It is time to ask anew: do we believe these teachings or not? This book isn't only for Christians but for all faith traditions, and even those with no faith at all. When we see a civic promotion of fear, hate, and violence for the trajectory of our politics, we need a civic faith of love, healing, and hope to defeat it. And that must involve all of us--religious or not. Learning to practice a politics of neighbor love will be central to the future of democracy in America. And more than ever, the words of Jesus ring, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.""--… (altro)

We are in a battle for the soul of America. But it is not, and has never been, simply a political battle. Ours in a moral struggle over who we take ourselves to be and what kind of country we want to live in. The moral question sits at the heart of our troubles today. It has been a central question since the founding of the Republic and the moment of crisis when it felt as if the entire experiment would fall apart. -Foreword, The Love Battle to Save the Soul of America, Eddie S. Glaude, Jr.
The room told the story. Facing one another around the table was a diverse group of young pastors mostly from several southern states. Every Black pastor in the room spoke up, feeling safe in that space to be their authentic selves and offer their voices of deep and urgent concern about what was happening in our country, and to their own communities - and congregations. -Introduction, Crossing the Line
Looking back on my teenage years in Detroit, I remember when a concerned elder in my evangelical church took me aside one night to set me straight. I will never forget what he said: "You need to understand, son, that Christianity has nothing to do with racism - that's political and our faith is personal." -Chapter 1: The False White Gospel
