God's Politics (S P/G)(NYR 3)

God's Politics by Jim Wallis was a suggest title I came across while browsing on Amazon. I found out that my library had it and checked it out. After reading it, I feel this book is of two voices. The first voice of the book does a fantastic job of pointing out real issues and points of contention for both sides of the issue. I think it did a great job of spurring my thoughts about issues I may have not given a great deal of thought (i.e. the extent of poverty). However, I almost did not finish the book due to the second voice of the book. I found that many of the solutions offered by the author along with his interpretations of the Bible verses he uses to support his solutions to be in conflict with my belief system and interpretations. I am not saying he is wrong; however, I feel I would be hard pressed to find many that would agree with his viewpoints of scripture. Are the problems he presents real? Absolutely. Do I think his solutions are easily going to find support and traction in the Christian community at large through the means he is proposing? Not likely.
