Progressive faith and politics

For decades, the political influence of faith has been seen in the might and the dominance of the Religious Right.  

A new book from Religion News Service political correspondent Jack Jenkins called American Prophets, The Religious Roots of Progressive Politics and the Ongoing Fight for the Soul of the Country charts the so-called Religious Left.  

Beliefs producer Jay Woodward and I spoke with Jack about his new book and the emergence of a powerful new political identity.
