Book Reviews of The Revolution: A Field Manual for Changing Your World
Book Review: One sided and poorly written
Summary: 1 Stars
This book covers a number of topics that evangelical Christians *do* need to educate themselves on, such as the AIDs crisis, gang warfare and the environment. The first few chapters of this book cover subject matter that most Christians - and non-Christians for that matter - will find broad agreement on. However, as you progress through the book, the leftist agenda becomes so obvious that you begin to question the book's objectivity. For instance, the chapter on the death penalty is written by a strident death penalty opponent who consistently applies straw man arguments. The chapter called "War and Peace" is a disaster. By this point, the reader will not be the least bit surprised to find that another left wing activist and pacifist writes this chapter. If you're looking for a good intellectual analysis of the Just War doctrine or acknowledgement that good Christians can come to to different conclusions about this topic, you will not find it in this chapter, either.
Clearly, this book was written with an agenda. But I'm not sure how much this actually advances the agenda of turning a moderate or conservative evangelical towards the progressive world view, because so many of the arguments are simply not that compelling or balanced.
