"...chock-full of politically engaged, theologically and textually grounded essays... Many of the essays also provide serious spiritual ammunition... Voices illuminates the ways some people have taken their sense of religious duty out into a broken world and infused their in-the-trenches tikkun olam with a relationship to the bigger picture. The magic here is both in the details and in the sweeping sense that we are all, in fact, working toward the same goals from, as somebody once said, a thousand points of light. Until we can get there, Voices of the Religious Left offers indispensable, high-octane edification and inspiration-just what we'll need along the way." -Danya Rutttenberg, LILITH "Alpert's collection is of genuine service for understanding and engaging with contemporary perspectives of 'the religious left'..." -Nova Religio "This book does a fine job of showing how the religious left can be part of religious belief, including for those who, for the most part, adhere to fairly traditional religious beliefs." -Journal of Church and State
