All Politics is Religious by Rabbi Dennis S. Ross presents a practical and empowering guide for articulating a clear, progressive religious viewpoint in contemporary public debates. The book addresses religious themes underlying issues such as gay rights, family needs, church-state separation, and reproductive rights—including sex education and abortion care—offering new language and communication strategies to engage the media, policymakers and communities effectively.

A practical and empowering resource, All Politics is Religious provides ideas and strategies for expressing a clear, forceful and progressive religious point of view that is all too often overlooked and under-represented in public discourse.

It identifies the religious themes in today's great debates—gay rights, the needs of children and families, church-state separation and reproductive rights, including access to sex education, contraception and abortion care—and presents new language and methods for effective communication with the media, policy makers and community.

The book steers away from the polemics and jargon of politics—left, right, liberal, conservative, socialist—and instead relies on factual historical examples, current events and personal stories. It illustrates the best ways to communicate the positive role faith can play in personal and public life by reinforcing the separation of church and state.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
