Description
Many people of faith have identified the election of Donald Trump as a confessional crisis—a moment that calls into question the deepest meaning of our religious claims and values. This book gathers reflections by a range of scholars and activists from numerous religious and denominational perspectives to address that crisis. Among the themes treated are disability issues, the LGBT community, gender and race, immigration, the environment, peace, and poverty.

De La Torre presents a collection of essays written by thinkers and scholars reacting to the Trump era and its meaning in the faith community. The writers cover a number of issues such as immigration reform, LGBT justice, and the environment while also tackling a stickier issue--the intersection of faith and the politics and policies that elected Trump. An interesting and, at heart, optimistic read. Contributors include, Miguel H. Díaz, David P. Gushee, Susan Brooks Thistlewaite, and Jim Wallis.
