{"product_id":"middle-church-bob-edgar-9780743289504","title":"Middle Church: Reclaiming the Moral Values of the Faithful Majority from the Religious Right","description":"With issues like abortion, gay marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, and \"intelligent design\" dominating election campaigns, it often seems that the far religious right has defined the social agenda in American public life. In \u003ci\u003eMiddle Church, \u003c\/i\u003e the Rev. Bob Edgar vigorously refutes the idea that the right wing has a monopoly on matters of faith and values. On the contrary, he says, by focusing on \"personal piety\" issues such as gay rights and abortion, the extreme right views morality too narrowly-and ignores more important issues such as poverty, the environment, health care, and war and peace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Middle Church\" is the vast majority of American faithful to whom these larger social issues matter, and in this book Bob Edgar urges a national political agenda that addresses these vital concerns. Passionate and thought provoking, \u003ci\u003eMiddle Church\u003c\/i\u003e is a call for Americans of all faiths to join together on the moral issues that matter most.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Edgar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743289501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743289504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.58w x 0.66d","brand":"Bob Edgar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425050870015,"sku":"9780743289504","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77687a23-da00-4dcd-a98e-03a5068d6702.jpg?v=1761536666","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/middle-church-bob-edgar-9780743289504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
