The Moral Core of Judaism and Christianity: Reclaiming the Revolution Rasmussen, Larry

**The Moral Core of Judaism and Christianity: Reclaiming the Revolution** by Larry Rasmussen isn't your typical Sunday school material. This thought-provoking exploration digs into the radical social justice roots that both Judaism and Christianity share—before they got comfortable in suburban sanctuaries.

Rasmussen, a respected theologian and ethics scholar, argues that both faiths began as revolutionary movements challenging economic inequality and social oppression. He traces how these religions' moral imperatives got domesticated over centuries, and makes a compelling case for rediscovering their transformative power.

Perfect for progressive believers, interfaith dialogue enthusiasts, social justice advocates, and anyone curious about religion's role in activism. Whether you're questioning your faith or strengthening it, this book offers fresh perspective on ancient wisdom.
