[Carl S. Hughes] offers an important contribution to debates over religion and public life. His retrieval of Lutheran traditions offers a compelling rebuttal to those who identify God’s will with their own understanding. By reclaiming Protestant theology from its loudest defenders, he suggests that the fractures that shape American politics are not inevitable. Where some use Christian thought as a weapon against other groups, Hughes shows that it can enrich the work of racial and economic justice.
