Description
Roger S. Gottlieb, Joining Hands: Politics and Religion Together for Social Change (Cambridge, Mass.: Westview Press, 2002), xxviii + 243 PP. In this important new book, Roger Gottlieb argues for the necessary cooperation of religion and progressive politics in the struggle to make a more just and humanly fulfilling world. According to Gottlieb, both religion and politics are "ways of world making," that is, they each are "forms of thought and collective action" that view "social life as a human creation subject to human judgment and transformation." Thus, religion and politics have a "shared purpose"--making a better world and they have "a better chance of succeeding ... if they mutually reinforce, teach, and aid each other" (4).
