"Altman has picked up on things that a good portion of the
population has not yet discovered . "The First Liberal "is a timely
book, and one I think will get more than a few people talking. It
is the kind of talk that has been needed for a long time."-Reverend
Fred C. Plumer, president, The Center for Progressive Christianity
Dennis Altman frames a fascinating discussion for both
conservatives and liberals. Using Jesus' teachings as logical
arguments unadorned by religious overtones, Altman challenges
established notions with eye-opening impact.
Altman highlights how Jesus brought humanist values to the Roman
world of cruelty and greed. He shows how Jesus was the first
liberal voice among religious and political establishments, and the
first major advocate for women's and minorities' rights. Altman
examines Jesus' teachings in a modern context: our obligations to
one another, the dangers of greed, the effective power of
nonviolence, and the importance of liberal values in shaping the
world for our children.
Regardless of your political or religious orientation, this
exciting book will open new doors for you.
