Perkins","description":"Born into a sharecropping family in New Hebron, Mississippi, in 1930, and only receiving a third-grade education, John M. Perkins has been a pioneering prophetic African American voice for reconciliation and social justice to America's white evangelical churches. Often an unwelcome voice and always a passionate, provocative clarion, Perkins persisted for forty years in bringing about the formation of the Christian Community Development Association--a large network of evangelical churches and community organizations working in America's poorest communities--and inspired the emerging generation of young evangelicals concerned with releasing the Church from its cultural captivity and oppressive materialism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e John M. Perkins has received surprisingly little attention from historians of modern American religious history and theologians. \u003ci\u003eMobilizing for the Common Good\u003c\/i\u003e is an exploration of his theological significance. With contributions from theologians, historians, and activists, this book contends that Perkins ushered in a paradigm shift in twentieth-century evangelical theology that continues to influence Christian community development projects and social justice activists today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Slade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 161703858X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617038587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Peter Slade","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45477133680895,"sku":"9781617038587","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09306e9e-305f-4185-b43a-806ababca74b.jpg?v=1715919144","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mobilizing-for-the-common-good-peter-slade-9781617038587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
