Jim Wallis: Top Ten God’s Politics Epiphanies

From God's Politics Blog: Jim Wallis: Top Ten God's Politics Epiphanies

When I first went out on the book tour for God’s Politics, I often got asked the standard media question, “Why did you write this book?” I answered, “Because the Right gets it wrong and the Left doesn’t get it!” It worked. Now reporters tell me it’s “the book that changed the conversation.” The new essay in the paperback edition of God’s Politics talks about all the ways the conversation has changed.

But now that God’s Politics is out in paperback and the publisher has me on another book tour, there is a new question I’m getting asked—both by the media and by people who come out to the events and talk to me at the book signing tables. The new question is, “What gives you the most satisfaction about the success of God’s Politics?” Or, “What makes you feel best about having written this book?” I’ve thought a lot about this and here are the top ten things that give me the most encouragement from the impact that God’s Politics has had.

  1. While not a big fan of Sojourners and Jim Wallis myself, I think they and this book have helped alot of people to see a more kingdom of God, and Scripturally oriented approach to politics, and how to be a Christian in the political world, and in a political world. So I laud them and it for that.

  2. I think his recent book has hopefully challenged people to look more critically at their own faith and what it means for public policy. However, my more cynical side hears Wallis saying.
    “Don’t co-opted by the Religious Right. Instead, be co-opted by the Religious Left.”

  3. Yeah. I’m afraid I agree, from my perspective and interpretation of what I’ve read from Sojourners and heard from Jim Wallis when he spoke here.
