Faith and Reckoning after Trump

RELIGION / Religion, Politics & State RELIGION / Christian Living / Social Issues Religious scholars and activists assess the impact and lessons of the Trump era, and reflect on the challenges ahead. The past four years, culminating in the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, brought to the surface deep divisions in our country and in faith communities. In this volume a diverse group of religious scholars and activists reflect on the meaning of the Trump era, the future of democracy, and the challenges facing the faith community. Topics include: "Fractured Truth in Post-Trump America"; the critical role of Black women; the tension between democracy and "whiteness"; the political theology of QAnon; environmental violence; racism and Black Lives Matter; ministry in a divided church and nation; Islamophobia and anti-Semitism; Catholic faith in the public square; and the future of Evangelical Christianity.
