Edward G. Simmons “Values, Truth, and Spiritual Danger” - A Spiritual Insight Meets Current Reality

Since 2015 we have lived in a time of crisis when truth and basic values are undermined for political advantage. The linkage between evangelical churches and the forces of Trumpism make this an ongoing time of spiritual as well as political danger.

The author has an extensive career working in government and teaching at universities. In his book, he brings dedication to public service and teaching to the important issues of our time, especially the rise of Trumpism.

In “Values, Truth, and Spiritual Danger,” readers can expect a compelling exploration of the application of spiritual values to current issues. The book is divided into five parts, each based on themes in the Bible. From the importance of Old Testament values and beliefs to the moral teachings of Jesus. Simmons offers readers a nuanced perspective on spiritual principles and their relationship to the challenges facing our society. He also challenges traditional Christianity to update beliefs that are no longer functional.

His primary message is clear: “Christianity transcends political labels when it remains true to its core values of compassion, truth, and integrity.” Throughout the book, he emphasizes the danger of undermining biblical values and truth in pursuit of political advantage.

In simpler terms, the lesson is that no matter what your political beliefs are, it’s essential to remember and uphold the fundamental values of kindness and honesty that Judaism and Christianity teach.

The Beloved Community, that was advocated by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and is now endorsed by more progressive churches, represents an ecumenical effort to restore the true pursuit of Christianity in our time.

If you’re yearning for inspiration and a deep understanding of spirituality, “Values, Truth, and Spiritual Danger” is an absolute necessity. Edward Simmons’s thought-provoking essays present a novel outlook on biblical teachings and their significance in our modern era. Don’t miss out on this enlightening expedition towards a more all-embracing Christianity.
