Thirteen Peacemakers, Community Builders, and Agitators for Faith and Justice
(Wm. B. Eerdman’s Publishing Co, February 28, 2019 / $27) Discover the compelling stories of thirteen pioneers for social justice who engaged in peaceful protest and gave voice to the marginalized, working courageously out of their religious convictions to transform American culture. Their prophetic witness still speaks today.
Comprising a variety of voices—Catholic and Protestant, gay and straight, men and women of different racial backgrounds—these activist witnesses represent the best of the church’s peacemakers, community builders, and inside agitators. Written by select authors, Can I Get a Witness? showcases vibrant storytelling and research-enriched narrative to bring these significant “peculiar people” to life.
The book was produced from a two-part Spring Institute in Lived Theology that took place in 2016-2017.
