Description
Are you drifting in the current of culture wars--or ready to chart a bold new course of faith?
"In The Jesus Principle: Are You Moving Toward Jesus--or Away?, L. James Johnson invites readers into the true, radical heart of the Gospel -- a call to move closer to Jesus by standing with the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized. This book challenges complacency and rekindles the moral imagination of faith communities longing for justice. A powerful and necessary contribution to the movement for a more just and loving world."
-- Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Director, Kairos Center for Religions, Rights and Social Justice
America stands at a moral crossroads. The Jesus Principle isn't another partisan book trapped in left-versus-right thinking -- it's a call to rediscover a faith strong enough to heal, unite, and transform.
At its heart lies a compass and a filter -- four timeless questions drawn from the teachings of Jesus:
Does this bear the fruit of the Spirit -- love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control?
Does this care for the vulnerable -- the poor, the marginalized, the excluded?
Would I want this done to me, or to those I love?
Is this true -- aligned with the life and teaching of Jesus, and the facts?
Each chapter dives into the moral frontlines of our time -- healthcare, race, gender, immigration, climate, Christian nationalism, and the separation of church and state. With clarity and conviction, L. James Johnson challenges readers to rethink what it means to live out authentic Christian ethics and social justice in a divided age.
Faith doesn't have to fuel division -- it can still spark renewal.
The Jesus Principle speaks to every believer longing for moral clarity, humility, and hope. Whether you're evangelical, Catholic, mainline, or simply searching, this book offers a unifying roadmap for Christians determined to reclaim faith from fear and restore the radical compassion of Jesus.
