 So
much is heard about the Christian Right, but
what about those from the other side? Though
the Christian Left is an active ally in helping
transform the country’s social problems,
the force is vastly overlooked. In his new book, “The
Beloved Community: How Faith Shapes Social Justice,
from the Civil Rights Movement to Today,” U.Va.
professor of religious studies Charles Marsh
looks at how Christians influenced the American
Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s,
and how the faith-based movement of today continues
to pursue social justice and civil rights. Full
story.
