Synopsis
In a style that's both personal and analytical, retired Episcopal Bishop Bennett Sims offers a penetrating critique of the extremist religious and political assumptions that underlie the domestic and foreign policies of President George W. Bush. He contrasts two radically opposed conceptions of power. Both concepts are found in the Hebrew-Christian Scriptures.
The concept of power represented by the President is the centuries-old one of male-dominant, militarist imperialism, co-opted in recent history by a fierce Fundamentalism that forecasts an imminent and violent end of history. The other is the enduring power of compassion, justice, and nonviolence exemplified by the Hebrew prophets and Jesus of Nazareth. This book celebrates the movement of prophetic power from the shadows of history to the
foreground of political action.

From the title of the work, one might expect a political polemic against the policies of the George W. Bush administration. Instead, Sims (Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Atlanta and Founding President of the Institute for Servant Leadership) seems more concerned with wide societal and philosophi Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
