The Call to Conversion: Recovering the Gospel for These Times [Paperback]

Jim Wallis (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1992

This work examines two fundamental questions Christians must answer: what is the nature of authentic conversion today, and how can people heed the biblical call to conversion today? Jim Wallis offers a new social vision grounded in the reality of the gospel of Jesus Christ, outlines a direction for action that seeks to establish justice for the poor and reclaims the Christian responsibility for making peace. The key to this biblical witness is Jim Wallis' vision of a revitalized Christian community deeply rooted in worship and in the practice of the spiritual disciples.
