Pulpit and Politics: Competing Religious Ideologies in Canadian Public Life (Signed)

Explore the sharp intersection of faith and public life in Canada with Pulpit and Politics. Former NDP Member of Parliament Dennis Gruending examines the competing forces within religious democracy—progressive Christian social activism versus conservative evangelical influence. Through essays shaped by his experience in politics and journalism, Gruending explores the impact of religious ideologies on issues like inequality, immigration, Indigenous rights, human rights, and environmental policy. He names names, plots alliances, and issues a call to understand how religious beliefs both unite and divide Canadians in public discourse. Provocative and candid, this book offers a lively snapshot of the spiritual currents shaping Canadian democracy.
