God's politics : why the right gets it wrong and the left doesn't get it

Abstract

While the Right in America has hijacked the language of faith to prop up its political agenda -an agenda not all people of faith support -the Left hasn't done much better, largely ignoring faith and continually separating moral discourse and personal ethics from public policy. While the Right argues that God's way is their way, the Left pursues an unrealistic separation of religious values from morally grounded political leadership. The consequence is a false choice between ideological religion and soulless politics.
