According to new research from the Public Religion Research
Institute, there are over 35 million consistently progressive
Christians in the United States. Majorities of American Christians
support reproductive justice and LGBTQ+ rights. Yet they're erased
from our public narrative--only mentioned as outliers to the
fundamentalist norm. In Just Faith, progressive Christian activist
and writer Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons explains how a strong
religious left has accompanied every major progressive advance in
our society, and he resurrects the long but forgotten history of
progressive Christianity in the United States that can and must
link arms with progressive Muslims and Jews to make the moral case
for pluralism, human dignity, and the common good.
Graves-Fitzsimmons provides a blueprint for this type of
resurrection based on his advocacy work at the intersection of
religion and American politics. Graves-Fitzsimmons creates a
rallying cry for a bold progressive Christianity that
unapologetically fights for its values to impact the biggest
political battles of our time--from immigration and economic
fairness to LGBTQ+ rights and abortion rights- so that progressive
Christians will stop lowering their voices when they identify as
Christians. "What kind of Christian are you?" they'll be asked. And
they'll even be understood when they reply with a smile, "The good
kind."
