extremist for love & justice, An
Book Description
Rev. Dr. Cynthia Landrum invites readers into a profound exploration of faith that refuses to separate spiritual growth from active engagement with the world's challenges. Through carefully selected sermons and writings, she reveals how genuine religious practice naturally flows into passionate advocacy for human dignity and social transformation.
At the center of Landrum's vision lies an expansive understanding of love that excludes no one and demands everything. She demonstrates how Unitarian Universalist principles create a foundation for both personal spiritual development and collective action toward justice. Her writings weave together contemporary social issues with timeless literary wisdom, showing how sacred texts and modern struggles illuminate each other.
Landrum's approach to spirituality emphasizes connection and relationship rather than individual salvation alone. She presents a faith tradition that celebrates spiritual freedom while maintaining deep commitments to equality and human worth. Her message resonates with those seeking a religious path that honors both contemplative practice and hands-on service to others.
These collected works offer readers a model for integrating spiritual seeking with social responsibility. Landrum shows how authentic faith naturally leads to what she calls "extremist" dedication to love and justice, not as separate pursuits but as expressions of the same sacred calling. Her writings speak to anyone yearning for a spirituality that engages fully with both inner transformation and outer change.
