About the Program:

Jim Wallis, a "progressive evangelical," is a well-known best-selling author, religious leader and is the editor and founder of Sojourners Magazine. His latest book, God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It, went straight to the NY Times best-seller list in its first week and has been regarded as the right book at the right time, due to the recent election's connection to the "moral value" issue. In a time when the national and theological discourse is dominated by blanket descriptions and shortsightedness, Jim Wallis is working towards getting the whole country to move beyond the politics of "right" and "left."
