Reader reviews for Whose Gospel? A Concise Guide to Progressive Protestantism

From the publisher

A passionate call to justice from the man Newsweek calls "one of the twelve most effective preachers in the English-speaking world."

In Whose Gospel?, one of America's greatest living preachers offers a compelling vision of progressive social change. Known as "the preacher's preacher," Dr. James A. Forbes Jr. has tirelessly advocated progressive views on the crucial issues of our time--from poverty, war, and women's equality to racial justice, sexuality, and the environment.

Long a powerful voice for progressive Protestants, Forbes draws on a record of political commitment ranging from the civil rights movement to his stirring address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, in addition to his eighteen years at the helm of New York City's historic Riverside Church. Reflecting on insights of his years as a pastor, a teacher, and an adviser to political leaders, this inspiring manifesto "for the healing of the nations" epitomizes the best thinking of one of the country's foremost religious leaders. Published with a foreword by longtime Riverside Church member Bill Moyers, Whose Gospel? is a pithy and insightful introduction to Forbes's thought and a welcome source of inspiration in this era of hope and change.

"Forbes . . . looks back over his life as a pastor and a black man to make a strong connection between the gospels of Christian faith and life as lived in a dynamic and changing world . . . [He] intersperses passages from the Bible with his experiences to offer a full and compelling look at making faith and humane ideals real in the lives of church members and the nation." --Booklist
