While coming from varied backgrounds and experience, collectively the contributors to Organizing Visions offer a vital overview of the current state of Christian social ethics and its rich relation to organizing movements. Organizing Visions makes the case that Christian social ethics emerged out of and in conversation with major social movements in U.S. history and is defined today by a commitment to studying these movements to grasp where they may be going.
