Coming Soon The Jerusalem Above: Biblical Perspectives on Religion and Politics in American Culture by Rev. Marc Boulos Beginning with Israel’s sojourn in the wilderness, the Bible presents the paradoxical vision of a heavenly city “not made by human hands.” From the abolition of slavery and women’s suffrage to the civil rights movement, contemplation of this unseen place has provoked every major step forward in American social development. Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose writings against slavery influenced millions in the 1850s, warned that Lincoln’s Union could not be saved by protesting injustice and cruelty, but “by repentance, justice and mercy.” A century later, the Rev. King repeated Stowe’s call, systematically invoking the Bible in his famous speech, “I have a Dream.” Marked by partisanship and divisiveness, more recent public expressions of religion and politics have strayed from this biblical vision. Genuine, intelligent dialogue has been replaced by arguments “for” and “against,” even as ideology creates isolation and estrangement in our communities, churches and families. What does the biblical vision of city imply for contemporary discussions of social justice? How can this vision offer a way forward for all Americans, whatever their beliefs? In the words of Stowe, to what “heavy account,” is the Church of our generation called “to answer?” © 2008 New Martyr Books
