Spiritual Socialists

Religion and the American Left

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Profiling an eclectic group of activists such as Sherwood Eddy, Dorothy Day, and Martin Luther King, Jr., Vaneesa Cook argues that "spiritual socialists" held that the most basic expression of religious values-caring for the sick, tired, hungry, and exploited members of one's community-created a firm footing for a new society.
