"Impressively documented, this spirited criticism of the religio-political left sounds a needed alarm over widening revolutionary and 'liberationist com mitments of church leaders. It ought to be read in every congregation for its timely factual data and penetrating insights." -Carl F H. Henry Evangelical Theologian and Author "It stands to reason that, if there is a Religious Right, there must be a Religious Left. Outside the circles of the Religious Right, however, one finds little mention of the Religious Left. One reason for this curious situation is that, in "mainline Protestantism and Catholicism, the Left is typically viewed as the center. The authors of this book make abundantly clear that the Religious Left is very Left indeed. Far from fueling partisan recriminations, their thoughtful analysis should invite a fresh deliberation on the proper role of the churches in the search for public justice" -Richard John Neuhaus. Director The Center on Religion and Society "The espousal of any political ideology as the gospel of Jesus Christ is truly a betrayal of the church. In their book by that name. Ed Robb and his daughter, Julia, have clearly documented the startling story of the leftist drift of much of the leadership of the so-called mainline churches in America. This is a com-pelling book, telling the story of how these leaders seem to hold a clear affin-ity for leftist politics, while they also advance a partisan bias against Western democracies and the free market economy Even more importantly, this book portrays how the essence of the gospel has been radically distorted through liberation theology to embrace political and economic revolution as the core of the Christian faith in place of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This is the other side of the story which you owe to yourself and the cause of truth to read." -Ira Gallaway, Senior Pastor First United Methodist Church Peoria, Illinois 261.7 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 261.7 Rob g E98027376 Non Fiction 261.7 Rob g Betrayal_of_the_Church.jpg 64408 2014-12-17 10:19:06 2026-02-12 17:10:06 machine generated
