How a rally for the right in Charlottesville emboldened a resurgent Religious Left [View all]
From the article:
The following is an excerpt from the forthcoming book "American Prophets: The Religious Roots of Progressive Politics and the Ongoing Fight for the Soul of the Country" by author and Religion News Service reporter Jack Jenkins.
The book, which publishes on April 21 with HarperOne, offers a sweeping look at the modern Religious Left, uncovering untold or long-ignored stories of how faith-rooted liberals have made a lasting impact on contemporary progressive causes. The text below is adapted from its fifth chapter, which focuses on the intersection of religion, race, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
