内容紹介
With issues like abortion, gay marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, and "intelligent design" dominating election campaigns, it often seems that the far religious right has defined the social agenda in American public life. In Middle Church, the Rev. Bob Edgar vigorously refutes the idea that the right wing has a monopoly on matters of faith and values. On the contrary, he says, by focusing on "personal piety" issues such as gay rights and abortion, the extreme right views morality too narrowly-and ignores more important issues such as poverty, the environment, health care, and war and peace.
"Middle Church" is the vast majority of American faithful to whom these larger social issues matter, and in this book Bob Edgar urges a national political agenda that addresses these vital concerns. Passionate and thought provoking, Middle Church is a call for Americans of all faiths to join together on the moral issues that matter most.

レビュー
"Middle Church is a stirring call to American believers who resent their spiritual beliefs being co-opted for a political agenda contrary to their faith. Bob Edgar reminds us that faith belongs in the public realm -- not to advocate war, privilege, and environmental degradation, but to promote peace, the eradication of poverty, and the preservation of our fragile planet."

Politics and Piety: Peace, Poverty, and Pollution Prevention
2006/12/22
By J. R. Hanson
- (Amazon.com)
形式:ハードカバー|Amazon.co.jpで購入済み
Bob Edgar makes a compelling argument that people of faith in the middle of the road churches, synagogues, and mosques have the power to make important changes to our body politic. By sitting back and not acting, the members of these bodies have not prevented war, poverty, or pollution. Edgar's treatise is a call to action for this important group. He draws well on his experiences as a local pastor, campus chaplain, Member of Congress, Seminary President, and head of the National Council of Churches. Unlike many books by Members of Congress or seminary presidents, it is readable and inspiring, not just a "look at what I did or look at how much I know" book. I am giving my pastor and many of my church friends copies as Christmas gifts. Edgar is prompting us all to do a better job of being "church". If only he had not titled it: Middle Church.

A Powerful Wake-up Call!
2006/10/27
By Sharon Shaw Elrod
- (Amazon.com)
形式:ハードカバー
Bob Edgar's book addresses Middle Church, Middle Mosque and Middle Synagogue and challenges the faithful majority of us to speak out, vote and truly follow the leaders of our faiths. With our collective lack of understanding and complacency, we've allowed the conservative religious right to steal from us. And then, once stolen, the values have been remolded, reframed and reissued as 'authentic' and the 'true' meaning of the Bible, the Talmud and the Koran. That's all hogwash! Those wonderful books talk about our responsibility for stewardship and preservation of Planet Earth; our responsibility to protect and defend widows and children from the ravages of poverty; and God's requirement that all his children live in peace with one another and treat each other like we want to be treated. The religious right created hot buttons, like homosexuality and abortion, and try to place their origins in the Bible, Talmud and Koran. Sorry. Those books just don't talk about the religious right's claims. Those books DO talk about peace (as in loving one's neighbor), poverty and preservation of our planet. Everyone in Middle America needs to read this book, and understand we must face-off with the religious right. They can't steal from us if we refuse to allow it!

The book is listed on my list of books that I am supposed to read. I have not finished the book but intend to finish it. The pages I have finished were very interesting.
