Prophetic ActivismProgressive Religious Justice Movements in Contemporary America【電子書籍】[ Helene Slessarev-Jamir ]
＜p＞While the links between conservative Christians and politics have been drawn strongly in recent years, coming to embody what many think of as religious activism, the profoundly religious nature of community organizing and other more left-leaning justice work has been largely overlooked. ＜em＞Prophetic Activism＜/em＞ is the first broad comparative examination of progressive religious activism in the United States. Set up as a counter-narrative to religious conservatism, the book offers readers a deeper understanding of the richness and diversity of contemporary religious activism.＜br /＞ Helene Slessarev-Jamir offers five case studies of major progressive religious justice movements that have their roots in liberative interpretations of Scripture: congregational community organizing; worker justice; immigrant rights work; peace-making and reconciliation; and global anti-poverty and debt relief. Drawing on intensive interviews with activists at all levels of this workーfrom pastors and congregational leaders to local organizers and the executive directors of the national networksーshe uncovers the ways in which they construct an ethical framework for their work. In addition to looking at predominantly Christian organizations, the book also highlights the growth of progressive activism among Jews, Muslims, and Buddhists who are engaged in reinterpreting their religious texts to support new forms of activism.＜br /＞ Religion and Social Transformation series＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
