Social Justice Goes To Church: The New Left in Modern American Evangelicalism

In order to understand why so many in the church have supported political causes of the left in recent years, it's important to know a little history. In the 1970s, many campus radicals, from Christian homes, brought their neo-Marxist ideas from college, back to their churches. At first, figures like Jim Wallis, Ron Sider, and Richard Mouw accomplished much for their progressive Christian cause, but after the defeat of Jimmy Carter, the religious right stole all the headlines.Today, a new crop of mainstream evangelicals is taking up the cause of the New Left, whether they know it or not. As pro-life evangelicals rush to support movements like Black Lives Matter and Me Too, it is important to realize that they are walking in footsteps already laid down. Their movement may be more successful, but it is not new. To understand where this movement is going, it's vital to understand the original vision behind the movement.Social Justice Goes to Church: The New Left in Modern American Evangelicalism does just that. It explains the past, so you can understand the way evangelicals think about politics and why so many of them have adopted a liberal political philosophy, in contrast to how the media portrays them.

In order to understand why so many evangelicals recently support left-leaning political causes, it is important to know a little history. In the 1970s, many campus radicals raised in Christian homes brought neo-Marxist ideas from college back to church with them. At first, figures like Jim Wallis, Ron Sider, and Richard Mouw made great gains for their progressive evangelical cause. But, after the defeat of Jimmy Carter, the religious right stole the headlines. Today, a new crop of mainstream evangelicals has taken up the cause of the New Left whether they know it or not. As pro-life evangelicals rush to support movements like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo, it is important to realize they are walking in footprints already laid down. Their mission may be more successful, but it is not new. To understand where the evangelical social justice movement is heading, it is vital to understand the origins of the movement. Social Justice Goes to Church: The New Left in Modern American Evangelicalism answers, from a historical perspective, the vital question, "Why are American evangelicals moving Left?"

MURDER ON A SPRING DAY: A light-hearted English whodunit mystery (the Somerset whodunit mysteries)

Essex is a county of contrasts and surprises, far removed from the jokes and clichés surrounding it. Journalist Brian Mooney and artist Jon Harris set out to celebrate its people, history, architecture and geography by walking every inch of its boundaries. Whether tramping up the Maplin Sands, stumbling across an old soldier living wild in the woods, or visiting a chapel on a lonely seawall, their story is brimming with unexpected encounters and colourful surprises. Starting in Waltham Abbey, their walk takes them down the old Essex border into London, along the Thames to the marshes, rivers and creeks of the eastern seaboard and then follows the Suffolk borders to the edges of Cambridge and Hertfordshire.

Christianity and Social Justice is everything Christians need to understand and answer the social justice movement in one book. From its history, secular manifestations, and Christian variations, Jon Harris thoroughly describes the movement, shows how it threatens orthodoxy, and offers powerful responses.\n“Jon Harris has laid out the troubled story of the Christian churches in the United States today. No one who cares about the faith can afford to miss what he has to say.” 
- Clyde Wilson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at the University of South Carolina\n“Western Christianity has waited a long time for this book. Jon Harris has done his faith a great service by applying his considerable academic skills to the elephant in the room – the accelerating Marxist orientation of the American church. Jon Harris not only has the research and writing skills to illuminate this deliberately obscured topic, but most importantly he has the rare courage to name names. Thank you Mr. Harris.” 
- Trevor Loudon, author and filmmaker\n“Jon Harris provides a very informative but deeply disturbing history of the key issues affecting the intersection between two rival religions. Those two rival religions are historic Protestant Christianity and the present-day Social Justice Movement. Each era of the church has had to fight its own battles of syncretism. In our day and age, evangelicalism must fight against syncretizing the faith ‘once for all given to the saints’ with the Social Justice Movement, or any false ideology masquerading as an angel of light for that matter. We owe a great debt to Jon Harris for his diligent study and willingness to stand at the front line in this present-day battle for the purity of the gospel.” 
- William C. Roach, PhD, president, International Society of Christian Apologetics\n“I wish the facts meticulously laid out in Social Justice and Christianity: Religions in Conflict were not true. Thankfully, Jon Harris has enough theological acumen to rightly appraise the current onslaught of the new religion of Social Justice, and he does so with precision. Jon demonstrates that the Social Justice warriors simply, and only, sell law. You ought to read this book because Jon points to the Lord Jesus Christ, grace incarnate, for good news and actual change!” 
- Mike Abendroth, Pastor of Bethlehem Bible Church and host of No Compromise Radio
