{"product_id":"prophetic-encounters-dan-mckanan-9780807013175","title":"Prophetic Encounters: Religion and the American Radical Tradition","description":"\u003cb\u003eA broad, definitive history of the profound relationship between religion and movements for social change in America\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe United States has always had an active, vibrant, and influential religious Left. In every period of our history, people of faith have envisioned a society of peace and justice, and their tireless efforts have powered the social movements that have defined America's progress: the abolition of slavery, feminism, the New Deal, civil rights, and others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this groundbreaking, definitive work, McKanan treats the histories of religion and of the Left as a single history, showing that American radicalism is a continuous tradition rather than a collection of disparate movements. Emphasizing the power of encounter--between whites and former slaves, between the middle classes and the immigrant masses, and among activists themselves--McKanan shows that the coming together of people of different perspectives and beliefs has been transformative for centuries, uniting those whose faith is a source of activist commitment with those whose activism is a source of faith. Offering a history of the diverse religious dimensions of radical movements from the American Revolution to the present day, \u003ci\u003eProphetic Encounters\u003c\/i\u003e invites contemporary activists to stand proudly in a tradition of prophetic power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan McKanan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080701317X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807013175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Dan McKanan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44540343025919,"sku":"9780807013175","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_964ca0d7-3fbd-4b81-9e93-fb92ef245ae9.jpg?v=1700587368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prophetic-encounters-dan-mckanan-9780807013175","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
