To many mainstream-media saturated Americans, the terms ?progressive? and ?religious? may not seem to go hand-in-hand. As religion is usually tied to conservatism, an important way in which religion and politics intersect is being overlooked. Religion and Progressive Activism focuses on this significant intersection, revealing that progressive religious activists are a driving force in American public life, involved in almost every political issue or area of public concern. This volume brings together leading experts who dissect and analyze the inner worlds and public strategies of progressive religious activists from the local to the transnational level. It provides insight into documented trends, reviews overlooked case studies, and assesses the varied ways in which progressive religion forces us to deconstruct common political binaries such as right/left and progress/tradition. In a coherent and accessible way, this book engages and rethinks long accepted theories of religion, of social movements, and of the role of faith in democratic politics and civic life. Moreover, by challenging common perceptions of religiously motivated activism, it offers a more grounded and nuanced understanding of religion and the American political landscape. 410 0$aReligion and social transformation. 606 $aReligion and politics 606 $aReligion and sociology 615 0$aReligion and politics. 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 676 $a201.720973 702 $aBraunstein$b Ruth$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFuist$b Todd Nicholas$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWilliams$b Rhys H.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817142903321 996 $aReligion and Progressive Activism$94024597 997 $aUNINA
