Employing a format reminiscent of \u003cem\u003eHow Proust Can Change Your Life\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Little Book of Atheist Spirituality, \u003c\/em\u003eGarrison examines Roger Williams's work through the lens of the four classical virtues, which, as she observes, define values that have an almost universal consensus regardless of one's particular belief system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow can Roger Williams's life and ministry shed light on the role of the citizens in a global pluralized world? Garrison asks why this conversation focusing on the role of religion in public life got relegated to moralists like William J. Bennett, who crafted a fundamentalist rulebook that views these virtues through a very strict black-and-white lens. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this age of horizontal social media, what prevents people from standing up to these modern-day Goliaths and taking away their media megaphone? Here Garrison sees hope in the rise of the \"nones\" who, like Williams, follow their own spiritual path and create spaces that embrace women, POC, LGBT folks, and others marginalized by the institutional church. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Resource Publications (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781532696541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.22d","brand":"Becky Garrison","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36657292050588,"sku":"9781532696541","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_967fe7fb-1bad-45e7-b66d-1354fbe51a6c.jpg?v=1603890191","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/roger-williamss-little-book-of-virtues-9781532696541","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
