Feldmeir creatively addresses some of our most divisive issues by building on agreed-upon principles, or axioms, in order to begin conversation that is both realistic and mutually compassionate.” —The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church and author of The Power of Love and the upcoming Love is the Way\n\nAn exploration of eight of the most divisive issues of our day\n\nClimate change, immigration, medical aid in dying, Islamic extremism, racism, healthcare, homosexuality, and preventing suicide.\nIn our current culture of conflict, Americans need a better way of relating to one another and responding to controversial issues; a way that transcends political partisanship and emphasizes universal care, mutual concern, and the flourishing of the common good.\nIn A House Divided, Feldmeir suggests that the solution to our political entrenchment is a shared commitment to practicing a politics of compassion; the motivating, unifying ideals of the gospel that insist that we work together for the benefit of the common good.\n“Feldmeir offers well-reasoned insights into many of the issues that paralyze our national resolve to seek the common good.” —Philip Amerson, President-Emeritus, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary\nEach chapter includes a study guide for small group conversations.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 082720096X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.082720096X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Feldmeir, Mark\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
