Book Description:
The leaders of three religious traditions - Judaism, Roman Catholicism, and the Episcopal Church - offer a view of moral virtue that is distinct from the cold individualism put forth by conservatives and the religious right. Using the kind of storytelling that is common to their shared scriptural traditions, they explore values like caring for the needy, treasuring the gift of the earth, respecting differences within communities, and finding faith to help ourselves and others through adversity. Addressing a broad range of issues of common concern, this work aims to provide an antidote to the divisions and hatred plaguing the American spirit.
