Rules for Reformers

Rules for Reformers

In <i>Rules for Reformers</i>, Douglas Wilson poaches the political craft of radical progressives and applies it to Christian efforts in the current culture war. The result is a spicy blend of combat manual and cultural manifesto. <i>Rules for Reformers</i> is a little bit proclamation of grace, a little bit <i>Art of War</i>, and a little bit analysis of past embarrassments and current cowardice, all mixed together with a bunch of advanced knife-fighting techniques. As motivating as it is provocative, <i>Rules for Reformers</i> is just plain good to read. <p> Thanks to Saul Alinsky's <i>Rules for Radicals: A Practical Primer for Realistic Radicals</i> -- a book well-beloved by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and many others -- for much of the shrewd advice, and for none of the worldview.</p>
