Bearing Witness

<p>In an era when the label "evangelical" is hotly contested and often entangled with political agendas Daniel Lee Hill's <i>Bearing Witness</i> offers a timely reexamination of what it means to live out the gospel in public life.<br/><br/>Drawing on the rich legacy of nineteenth-century abolitionists David Ruggles Maria W. Stewart and William Still Hill constructs a compelling evangelical framework for public witness anchored in Scripture and the practice of lament and burden-bearing. Hill challenges evangelicals to rediscover their roots in a tradition that speaks powerfully to contemporary debates over church culture and the call to social justice.<br/><br/><i>Bearing Witness </i>will be an indispensable guide for professors students pastors and laypeople committed to a faith that speaks to the public square.</p>
