God’s Politics
God’s Politics by Jim Wallis, published by HarperAudio on April 5, 2005, is an abridged audio edition that explores the intersection of faith and contemporary politics. This work challenges the notion that belief in God and moral values align solely with conservative ideologies. Wallis advocates for a political landscape that embraces justice, peace, and equality, urging both religious communities and government to reflect these core values.
In this audio presentation, listeners will find a call to action that emphasizes accountability in political leadership and policies. Wallis argues for a progressive social agenda that prioritizes economic security, healthcare, and educational opportunities while remaining true to the principles of love and justice central to many faith traditions. The discussion encompasses themes of religion and politics, as well as the importance of addressing issues such as racial justice and the rights of marginalized communities. Read by Sam Freed, this edition invites reflection on how moral convictions can shape public life.
Official synopsis Publisher
Since when did believing in God and having moral values make you pro-war, pro-rich, and solely pro-Republican? And since when did promoting and pursuing a progressive social agenda with a concern for economic security, health care, and educational opportunity mean you had to put faith in God aside?
God’s Politics offers a clarion call to make both our religious communities and our government more accountable to key values of the prophetic religious tradition — that is, make them pro-justice, pro-peace, pro-environment, pro-equality, and pro-family (without making scapegoats of single mothers or gays). Our biblical faith and religious traditions simply do not allow us as a nation to continue to ignore the poor and marginalized, deny racial justice, tolerate the ravages of war, or turn away from the human rights of those made in the image of God. These are the values of love and justice, reconciliation, and community that Jesus taught and that are at the core of what many of us believe, Christian or not. Jim Wallis inspires us to hold our political leaders and policies accountable by integrating our deepest moral convictions into our nation’s public life.
