Faith, public life, and political accountability

Jim Wallis examines the place of religious and moral conviction in U.S. political life, challenging both conservative dominance of faith-based political language and progressive reluctance to engage it. He argues for a public role for spiritual values while maintaining the distinction between church and state, connecting that argument to questions of war, poverty, racism, abortion, and capital punishment. Framed around civic participation and accountability, the book presents social change as work that citizens can pursue through their deepest ethical commitments.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christian perspectives on social and political issues
  • Those exploring the relationship between religion, ethics, and U.S. public life
  • Readers seeking faith-centered discussion of poverty, war, racism, and other moral questions

Book overview

New York Times bestseller God's Politics struck a chord with Americans disenchanted with how the Right had co-opted all talk about integrating religious values into our politics, and with the Left, who were mute on the subject. Jim Wallis argues that America's separation of church and state does not require banishing moral and religious values from the public square. God's Politics offers a vision for how to convert spiritual values into real social change and has started a grassroots movement to hold our political leaders accountable by incorporating our deepest convictions about war, poverty, racism, abortion, capital punishment, and other moral issues into our nation's public life. Who can change the political wind? Only we can.
