      abstract = {Though in recent years the religious right has been a  powerful political force, making "religion" and  "conservatism" synonymous in the minds of many, the United  States has always had an active, vibrant, and influential  religious Left. In every period of our history, people of  faith have envisioned a society of peace and justice, and  their tireless efforts have made an indelible mark on our  nation's history. In Prophetic Encounters, Dan McKanan  challenges simple distinctions between "religious" and  "secular" activism, showing that religious beliefs and  practices have been integral to every movement promoting  liberty, equality, and solidarity.},
