Progressive faith and politics

Progressive faith and politics
Jonathan Woodward

For decades, the political influence of faith has been seen in the might and the dominance of the Religious Right.  

A new book from Religion News Service national reporter Jack Jenkins called “American Prophets: The Religious Roots of Progressive Politics and the Ongoing Fight for the Soul of the Country,” charts the rise of the so-called Religious Left.  


Beliefs host Bill Baker and producer Jay Woodward spoke with Jenkins about his new book and the emergence of a powerful new political identity. 

 

 

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
