Synopsis

This work examines two fundamental questions Christians must answer: what is the nature of authentic conversion today, and how can people heed the biblical call to conversion today? Jim Wallis offers a new social vision grounded in the reality of the gospel of Jesus Christ, outlines a direction for action that seeks to establish justice for the poor and reclaims the Christian responsibility for making peace. The key to this biblical witness is Jim Wallis' vision of a revitalized Christian community deeply rooted in worship and in the practice of the spiritual disciples.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this revised edition of a highly acclaimed book, Jim Wallis charges the church today with limiting the good news of Jesus to private and personal faith. He calls for a deeper, more radical conversion that tackles the great issues of our time. He is practical and specific in spelling out what this can mean. He shows how world poverty and terrorism raise issues that go to the heart of what Christian faith is. Jim Wallis is no armchair writer, but has lived among the poor, and been imprisoned many times for his stand against injustice. His book is a trumpet call to real, living Christianity.
