Discover the unapologetically Christian and liberal Barack Obama—and how he represents the changing face of religion in American politics. You’d have to live in a cave to have avoided hearing about Barack Obama’s woes as he deals with the crises arising from his former pastor, Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. How could Sen. Obama attend for 20 years a church permeated by a defining, if understandable, spirit of anger toward white America? There is, however, much more to the senator’s faith than this one issue. In The Faith of Barack Obama, Stephen Mansfield explores Obama’s religious faith without political or ideological bias. His basic premise is this: If a man’s faith is sincere, then it is the most important thing about him. As a result, it is impossible to understand how Barack Obama will lead without first understanding the religious vision that informs his life.
