Embracing Diversity

<p>Throughout its history America has been confronted with two alternative views of its identity. Is it according to one argument a deeply Christian nation called to purity and uniformity in the face of a challenging world? Or is it according to the other argument a beacon of hope and openness a land in which a variety of people can work side by side in justice and for a common good?</p><p>In this timely and needed book the authors challenge readers--especially readers in Christian communities--to step up to the promise of an America that works for the good of everyone who calls this nation home.</p><p>Certainly part of that challenge is recognizing where America has failed and the authors do not step back from that challenge. But a tone of hope prevails throughout as a gracious and compelling case is made that America's better angels exist and can motivate us to create a more just society</p>
