Why Jim Wallis is wrong about the government “shutdown”

Jim Wallis, a leading light in the religious left, has released a YouTube video calling the “shutdown” of the federal government unbiblical. He is wrong. Wallis employs the very same tactics he has publically deplored when used by Christian conservatives.

Take time to read the following two pieces responding to Wallis:
1. It’s Not Theology, It’s Ideology by James Rogers
2. Jim Wallis on the Shutdown: It’s Unbiblical by Joe Carter
