Description

Radical reflections on the Bible, The Church, and the Body Politic

The author of  The Universe Bends Toward Justice offers a challenging engagement with American society and contemporary Christianity – and the abuses committed in its name. His themes include the gap between the spirituality of the church and the spirituality of Jesus; how contemporary versions of gospel music “sensationalize” churches into social and political irrelevance; and how the ecconomic principles and policies of the religious right betray the basic Christian principles they claim to hold clear.
