Jewish Book Council Reviews Faith’s Answers to America’s Political Crisis

In a recent article from the Jewish Book Council, Marc Katz reviews the late Senator Joe Lieberman’s final book writing:

“In Faith’s Answers to America’s Polit­i­cal Cri­sis, Sen­a­tor Joe Leiber­man implores his read­ers to mine their respec­tive reli­gious tra­di­tions for the val­ues that will solve the tox­i­c­i­ty and grid­lock that have become norms in pol­i­tics today.

With chap­ters explor­ing issues like our dis­trust of one anoth­er, the break­down of thought­ful debate in Wash­ing­ton, our unwill­ing­ness to com­pro­mise, and the weak­ness and timid­i­ty of our lead­ers, Sen­a­tor Leiber­man charts an alter­na­tive path. Refer­ring to Amer­i­can his­to­ry, per­son­al anec­dotes, and reli­gious text, Leiber­man calls on his read­ers to fix the ills that plague our nation. As he explains, ​’we need a new reli­gious awak­en­ing in Amer­i­ca, whose goal is to bring the Amer­i­can peo­ple and their lead­ers back to bipar­ti­san, prob­lem-solv­ing pol­i­tics and government.'”
