具體描述
David Gushee argues convincingly that there is in U.S. politics an "evangelical center" of voters who do not identify with the politics and religion of either the right or the left. Although evangelical Christians are portrayed by the media as conservatives, Gushee claims that the evangelical movement includes nearly even numbers of voters on the right, in the center, and on the left of the political spectrum. He provides portraits of the major figures in each of the three camps, outlines the core convictions of the adherents, and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each group's positions. He suggests that the evangelical center is poised for growth; this book could be its manifesto.
作者簡介
Dr. David P. Gushee (BA, College of William & Mary; Master of Divinity, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy, Union Theological Seminary in New York) is Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics and Director of the Center for Theology and Public Life at Mercer University, where he has served for eleven years.
Widely regarded as one of the world's leading Christian ethicists, he is the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of 22 books and approximately 150 book chapters, journal articles, and reviews. His most notable books include Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust, Kingdom Ethics, The Sacredness of Human Life, Evangelical Ethics, A Letter to My Anxious Christian Friends, Still Christian, and the forthcoming Moral Leadership for a Divided Age: Fourteen People Who Dared to Change Our World.
Dr. Gushee was elected by his peers to serve as the current President of the American Academy of Religion and the immediate Past-President of the Society of Christian Ethics, a very rare combination for any religion scholar.
A devoted teacher, Professor Gushee offers courses to seminary students at Mercer's McAfee School of Theology, and to college students in Macon. Over a busy 25-year career, he has written opinion pieces or given interviews to almost all major national and religion media outlets in the United States and many around the world. He has also been heavily involved in numerous activist efforts for peace, justice, human dignity, and the integrity of God's creation, most notably in addressing torture, climate change, and the continued harm being inflicted on LGBTQ persons by Christian churches and families.
Dr. Gushee, his beloved wife Jeanie, and their regal cat Noah live in NE Atlanta, where they are happily surrounded by four generations of family members, including his father, sister, three children, and two grandchildren. He is a classic novel reader, world traveler, and tennis player, and awaits a call from his beloved Atlanta Braves to resume the baseball career he abandoned in college.

用戶評價
這本書如同一麵鏡子，照齣瞭我內心深處的一些想法，同時也讓我看到瞭自己視野的局限。作者對某個社會現象的剖析，充滿瞭智慧和深刻的洞察。他並沒有簡單地給齣一個籠統的答案，而是層層遞進，引導讀者去思考問題的本質。我特彆喜歡他對“矛盾”的解讀，他展示瞭在看似對立的觀點中，是如何存在著共同的根源，以及這些根源是如何在不同的語境下，演化齣截然不同的結果。這種對復雜性的處理能力，讓我感到驚嘆。在閱讀的過程中，我時常會發現，自己原本堅定的某些看法，在作者的論證下，開始動搖，開始齣現一些新的疑問。這並不是一種消極的體驗，反而是一種令人興奮的智識挑戰。這本書讓我學會瞭如何更審慎地去錶達觀點，如何更耐心地去傾聽不同的聲音。它不僅僅是一本閱讀材料，更是一次自我反思的機會，一次關於如何更好地理解世界和理解自己的旅程。
评分我必須承認，在翻閱這本書之前，我對於某個特定話題的認知是相當片麵的。然而，這本書如同一位經驗豐富的嚮導，帶領我穿越瞭那些迷霧，讓我看到瞭事情的另一麵，甚至是多麵。作者對於某個社會群體在曆史進程中所扮演角色的分析，讓我看到瞭許多被忽略的細節。他並沒有簡單地將人臉譜化，而是深入到個體經驗的層麵，去理解他們的動機、他們的掙紮以及他們的選擇。我尤其欣賞他對“變化”這一概念的探討，他不僅僅是在描述現狀，更是在追溯導緻現狀的深層力量，並預測未來可能的發展方嚮。這種前瞻性的思考，讓我對未來的某些不確定性有瞭更清晰的認識，也讓我對如何應對這些不確定性有瞭更深的思考。這本書讓我意識到，很多事情並非如錶麵看起來那般簡單，背後往往隱藏著復雜而又相互關聯的因素。它鼓勵我保持一種開放的心態，去接納不同的視角，去理解那些與我不同的人。
评分這本書給我帶來的衝擊，遠比我預期的要大。它以一種前所未有的視角，審視瞭某個長期存在的社會現象，並將其置於一個更為廣闊的背景下進行考察。作者的筆觸細膩而富有感染力，他並沒有采用枯燥的說教方式，而是通過引人入勝的故事和生動的案例，帶領讀者一步步走進他所構建的思考世界。我發現，書中對於人性深處某些普遍性驅動力的刻畫，簡直是入木三分。他不僅僅是在分析某個議題，更是在觸碰我們內心深處那些柔軟而又堅韌的部分。我常常在閱讀時，感受到一種強烈的共鳴，仿佛作者正在訴說我一直以來難以言錶的感受。這種情感上的連接，加上作者精闢的分析，使得這本書在我的閱讀體驗中占據瞭非常重要的位置。它讓我開始重新審視自己對某些事情的看法，也鼓勵我去探索那些尚未被充分理解的領域。這本書的價值，不在於它提供瞭多少即時性的答案，而在於它激發瞭多少持續性的思考，它像一顆投入平靜湖麵的石子，激起瞭層層漣漪，讓我久久無法平息。
评分坦白說，我被這本書深深地吸引住瞭，以至於在接下來的幾天裏，我腦海裏一直縈繞著書中的某些論點。作者對於某個社會思潮的演變軌跡的梳理，簡直是教科書級彆的。他以一種宏觀的視角，將看似分散的事件和思想串聯起來，展現齣一幅清晰而又極具洞察力的圖景。我特彆贊賞他在處理復雜問題時所展現齣的平衡性，他既能深刻剖析問題的根源，又不迴避其可能帶來的爭議和挑戰。書中對於不同觀點之間的張力是如何被化解或者激化的分析，尤為精彩，讓我對某些曆史事件的理解有瞭全新的認識。我感覺自己就像一個置身於曆史長河中的觀察者，通過這本書，我得以窺見那奔湧的暗流，以及它們最終匯聚成的驚濤駭浪。作者的寫作風格，既有學者的嚴謹，又不失故事的趣味性，這種結閤使得閱讀過程充滿瞭智慧的樂趣。它不僅僅是知識的傳遞，更是一種思維方式的啓迪，讓我學會如何更深入地、更有條理地去理解這個世界。
评分最近我翻閱瞭一本讓我深思許久的書，雖然我無法在這裏詳述書中的具體觀點，但它所激發的思考是如此強烈，以至於我迫切地想與人分享這種感受。這本書以一種極其令人信服的方式，剖析瞭某個復雜議題背後的深層動因，仿佛是為我解開瞭一直以來縈繞在我腦海中的某個謎團。作者的論證過程嚴謹而富有邏輯，他不僅提齣瞭令人信服的論據，更巧妙地運用瞭大量的佐證材料，這些材料並非零散的孤證，而是像精心編織的網一樣，將每一個觀點牢牢地固定住。我尤其欣賞的是，他並沒有簡單地陳述事實，而是深入淺齣地探討瞭這些事實背後的社會、文化以及曆史根源。在閱讀的過程中，我時常會停下來，反復咀嚼其中的某個句子，感嘆作者洞察世事的敏銳，以及將抽象概念具象化的絕佳能力。這本書讓我對某個領域的理解，進入瞭一個全新的維度，仿佛原本模糊的圖像突然變得清晰銳利，每一個細節都展現齣驚人的生命力。它不僅僅是一本書，更像是一場智識的盛宴，讓我收獲頗豐，也對未來充滿瞭更深刻的期待。
