Musings of a Maverick Methodist on Religion, Legitimacy and Politics (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

If we're the masters of our destiny in a democracy, and if our faith is relevant to our destiny, what will it be?

How do we relate our moral standards of faith to our politics?
That's a question avoided in polite conversation, especially in the church where we are admonished to keep our faith separate from our religion; but the fact is that our moral standards (whatever they are) are derived from our faith and shape our concepts of political legitimacy.
We either make an effort to relate the moral standards of our faith to our politics, or ignore them; and if we ignore them, we do so at our peril.
Here are 188 provocative commentaries on issues of religion, legitimacy and politics from a self-proclaimed Maverick Methodist. He brings his varied background as an elected official, a practicing attorney, a retired Army special operations JAGC officer, a businessman and a United Methodist pastor to bear on those issues, with no holds barred.

You may not agree with Rudy, but if you take your faith seriously, he'll have you questioning how you relate your religion to your politics, or calling for Rudy to be tarred and feathered.
