NCLA Review - DeYoung classifies religious leaders with a social justice orientation as "mystic-activists," which he defines as "leaders whose activism consumes them yet is deeply rooted in their faith and in the mystery of the divine" (7). He chooses three religious leaders, from widely different contexts and faiths—Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Christian pastor and theologian who viewed things from the margins, Malcolm X, an African-American adult convert to Islam who emphasized the humanity of all, and Aung San Suu Kyi, a female Burmese Buddhist revolutionary of the spirit. DeYoung includes biographical chapters on each of these figures, and then follows each biographical chapter with a chapter on a central component of social justice that is inspired by their faith. The book is an excellent introduction to the life and work of these important religious figures, and is a powerful call to consider how faith and justice relate and make for peace. Highly recommended as a book for social justice or mission groups. Rating: 4—CS ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
What impels a Mohandas Gandhi or a Martin Luther King, Jr.? How does religious experience animate a lifetime of dedication and drive for social justice? In this instructive and inspiring account, Christian ethicist Curtiss DeYoung profiles three of the most dynamic and influential religious activists of the twentieth century: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Malcolm X, and Aung San Suu Kyi - each from a different generation, a different faith community, and a different continent. His portraits show how their mystic faith drove them to justice commitments and beyond customary boundaries between people from other traditions, countries, and ways of life. Living Faith is more than a set of inspiring portraits. It also powerfully analyzes how these figures - along with such other luminaries as Rigoberta Mench , Nelson Mandela, Winona LaDuke, Fannie Lou Hamer, Elie Wiesel, Thich Nhat Hanh, and the Dalai Lama - shared a fiery core experience and common characteristics that empowered their lives and work.
