	Calvary Bible Fellowship Church- Scandal... by Ron Sider
		In the “The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience,” Sider uses Barna statistics to highlight what may be the four deadly sins of born-again and evangelical Christians: materialism, sexual disobedience, racism and domestic violence.
		Sider distinguishes between those who say they are born-again Christians (up to 40% of the U.S. population) and those recognized as evangelicals (around 8% of the U.S. population)--but evangelicals did not rate significantly better than the larger group.
		Sider’s criticism is that we forget the “other part” of the gospel: the Kingdom of God.

	Ronald J. Sider - The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience - The Journey with Jesus
		Sider's Scandal is a short, popular level, and fiery manifesto that does for evangelical social ethics what Mark Noll did for our paltry intellectual life in his book (also a must read) The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind (the scandal, according to Noll, is evangelicalism's rampant anti-intellectualism).
		Sider contrasts these findings from Chapter 1 with an overview in Chapter 2 of the Biblical vision of what God's kingdom on earth ought to look like, with successive paragraphs full of Scripture quotations from the Gospels, the book of Acts and the Epistles.
		Not all Sider's news is so bleak, however, and in a final, fifth chapter he turns to "Rays of Hope." There are, in fact, "heroic and faithful" individual believers (p.

	A Review of Ron Sider's Faith-Based Initiative, by K. Hollyn Hollman
		From the beginning of the article, Sider adopts much of the language of the Bush administration in their push for “charitable choice.” Claims that the initiative is about removing “illegitimate restrictions” or “leveling the playing field” echo the politicians, but do little to illuminate the important issues raised in this policy debate.
		Sider seems to take the architects of charitable choice at their word, and paints opponents as partisan.
		Sider correctly points out that the first piece of legislation containing charitable choice, sponsored by then-Sen. John Ashcroft, passed because it was “under the radar screen.” When a motion was made to strike the offending language, the motion failed after only a few minutes of debate.

		Sider has said that he would not be concerned with an increasing gap between rich and poor so long as the living standards of the poor were also increasing (so long as that increased concentration of economic power does not manifest itself in corruption of the political process, via rent-seeking, et al.)
		But as even Ron Sider has come to realize, the focus should be on how the poorest of the poor are doing, not on how big of a gap there is between rich and poor.
		Sider has previously written: “If American Christians simply gave a tithe rather than the current one-quarter of a tithe, there would be enough private Christian dollars to provide basic health care and education to all the poor of the earth.

	RON SIDER HAS MOVED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, by Gary North

	Prophet or Siren? Ron Sider's Continued Influence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Sider is part of the group of scholars who wrote the essays for Toward a Just and Caring Society: Christian Responses to Poverty in America, which Baker published in conjunction with the book under review.
		Sider is correct to point out that at current levels of giving, civil society, including religious institutions, could never approach the level of support the poor currently receive from the government.
		Many of Sider’s specific policy proposals are objectionable, as is his overarching reliance on government solutions and funding, but in light of the pressing needs of the poor, and in light of the unprecedented wealth of Americans, his hopeful conclusion is a welcome, and needed, vision.

	Sider: Both liberals and conservatives wrong on poverty
		Conservatives' diagnosis of this problem is "partly right," Sider suggested, noting the sexual revolution and the media's popularization of promiscuity have led to single-parent families.
		But the solution calls for a balance between church and state, he added, calling for pastors to stand strong for parents' responsibility to keep their wedding vows and for the government to provide tax credits that favor marriage over cohabitation.
		Christians should be in the thick of the battle to eliminate poverty, Sider declared.
