A Unitary Universalist minister explores the dynamic tensions of religious liberalism, a theology that is committed to individual freedom on the one hand and a greater sense of community on the other. Much more than any primer, this work identifies the underlying characteristics of liberal theology, delving into its historical, intellectual and social context. Perfect for readers who want a better understanding of a religious tradition that is rooted in one's own experience and conscience.

A long overdue "clearing up" of religiously liberal confusion about the separation of church and state and a call to carry our convictions into the public square. "As religious liberals, we know that we are united in a single interdependent world, that human beings have the ability to create good as well as evil, that our diversity is something to celebrate rather than fear, and that we can build just and liberating human communities." Knowing it...what will we do?

This work is the UU Common Read for 2015.

Melcher Book Award, "This book is a handbook for prophets like us. Speaking directly to religious liberals (the author) lays out our shortcomings in sometimes painful detail... (He) calls us to do better--and provides us with the tools for the task. Quoting again from the back cover of this book: “In this clarion call to action, leading Unitarian Universalist theologian Paul Rasor dispels the myth that conservative Christianity is the only valid religious voice in the national debates on social policy. Showing that religious liberals are more numerous than many realize, he calls on them to embrace their prophetic heritage and bring their religious convictions to bear on the issues of our time. Reclaiming Prophetic Witness will lift your spirit, inspiring you to lift your voice and reclaim a place in the public square.” Extensive notes and suggestions for further reading are included. A discussion guide accompanies this book.… (mer)
