| Résumé : |
"One of the greatest tragédies of modem American politics is the présomption that religion is inherently conservative, that the adjective ‘Christian’ belongs with the noun 'Right,’ and that God rests with the Republicans. These fallacies hâve fortified a reactionary movement in our public life and hâve orphaned the millions of believers who put their faith into the quest for equality and justice. Deena Guzder tells the stories of some of these heroic Christian activists in Divine Rebels. Here is a learned, readable, and immensely important work of history, journalism, and advocacy." —Samuel G. Freedman
"Divine Rebels offers a much-needed corrective to the wrathful voices on the Religious Right by showcasing the heroism of politically progressive Christians who reject power and privilège in favor of compassion and réconciliation." — Sister Helen Prejean |
