Sharp stuff from Religion Dispatches
Religion Dispatches, which will have a bright future if its early content is any indication, has two excellent essays about President-elect Barack Obama and the Religious Left--such as it is.
In one, Jonathan L. Walton asks:
Is President Obama destined to disappoint progressives? Our columnist channels theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, reminding us of the human potential for both good and evil, and offering a pragmatic approach...
In the other, our friend Daniel Schultz (Pastor Dan of Street Prophets) "addresses the Religious Left with suggestions, words of caution, a plea for compromise and a more broadly-conceived coalition than any to date."
