By Bob Avakian
This provocative book includes a scathing refutation of the reality behind conservative Christian fundamentalist morality, a critical look at the limitations of “liberation theology,” including a discussion of Jim Wallis’s book, The Soul of Politics, and an inspiring look at morality from a revolutionary perspective. This work is even more timely today as it was when it was published in 1999. Bob Avakian says in the Prologue that “From whatever vantage point one looks, it is unmistakable that there is what could be called a ‘moral crisis’ in America. There has been, to a significant degree, ‘a breakdown of traditional morality.’ But the answer to this—at least the answer that is in the interests of the majority of people in the U.S. and the overwhelming majority of humanity—is not a more aggressive assertion of that ‘traditional morality’ but winning people to a radically different morality, in the process of radically transforming society and the world as a whole”.
“For this clergyman who has struggled with the relevance of the Biblical faith in the face of the crises in our society, the critique of Bob Avakian comes as an urgent challenge. His thoughtful analysis underlines the urgency of recognizing how shallow has been our understanding and how futile has been much of our effort to work for a just society. There is insight and truth-speaking in this vital book which those of us of religious faith need to hear and to which we need to respond.”
Reverend George W. Webber, Professor of Urban Ministry and President Emeritus
