Silence Is Not the Answer
IN THIS AGE OF CONFUSION, FEAR, AND CONFLICT, PROPHETIC VOICES URGE US TO WAKE UP If you've ever felt like you don't have enough information about an issue, that you should wait to see what others do first, or that your voice won't make a difference, you're not alone. Silence Is Not the Answer is a collection of prophetic voices urging us to wake up, notice what is happening, and take a stand. The book offers viewpoints from a variety of writers who call us to make our voices heard on critical justice issues. Walter Brueggemann, Bishop Herbert Chilstrom, Marcus Borg, Larry Rasmussen, Vivian Elaine Johnson, Jim Wallis, Sallie McFague, and others encourage us to break the silence—not by shouting down others but by starting a real conversation.
