In these stirring pages, Tokunbo Adelekan finds grace and guidance in his deployment of the biblical category of "compassion," which he uses as a prism for social righteousness and civic grace.

His grammar of compassionate renewal forms the conscious for social regeneration. A faithful reading of compassion can go beyond religious...
In these stirring pages, Tokunbo Adelekan finds grace and guidance in his deployment of the biblical category of "compassion," which he uses as a prism for social righteousness and civic grace. He weaves theological reflection-drawn from biblical witness and church history-with a poignant analysis of our contemporary civic dilemma in a manner that bears witness to the difficult truth concerning the vice-like grip of racism and hedonism on the national soul. His grammar of compassionate renewal forms the conscious for social regeneration. A faithful reading of compassion can go beyond religious platitudes and political truisms and be deployed as an instrument for societal de-traumatization and cultural healing. A work of sober inter-disciplinary probing, 8:46 Trumpet of Compassion insists that when the "better angels of our nature prevail," we can perform the moral conjuring that yields the fruit of discipline and mobilization for those looking to heal personal and historical wounds encountered in the centuries-long struggle for equality in North America and the globe. "America still struggles with poverty, class distinctions, and a dearth of human kindness. For Tokunbo Adelekan, a society reinvigorated with compassion resets the moral compass."-Dr. Edward L. Taylor, President of Taylor Ministries "Tokunbo Adelekan invites you to respond to the Lord's call for the life-giving, life-sustaining work of divine compassion."-Dr. Deborah E. Watson, Chaplain at Palmer Theological Seminary
