Are you drifting in the current of culture wars--or ready to chart a bold new course of faith?
“In The Jesus Principle: Are You Moving Toward Jesus--or Away?, L. James Johnson invites readers into the true, radical heart of the Gospel—a call to move closer to Jesus by standing with the poor, the oppressed, and the marginalized. This book challenges complacency and rekindles the moral imagination of faith communities longing for justice. A powerful and necessary contribution to the movement for a more just and loving world.”
— Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, Director, Kairos Center for Religions, Rights and Social Justice
America stands at a moral crossroads. The Jesus Principle isn’t another partisan book trapped in left-versus-right thinking—it’s a call to rediscover a faith strong enough to heal, unite, and transform.
At its heart lies a compass and a filter—four timeless questions drawn from the teachings of Jesus:
Does this bear the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control?
Does this care for the vulnerable—the poor, the marginalized, the excluded?
Would I want this done to me, or to those I love?
Is this true—aligned with the life and teaching of Jesus, and the facts?
Each chapter dives into the moral frontlines of our time—healthcare, race, gender, immigration, climate, Christian nationalism, and the separation of church and state. With clarity and conviction, L. James Johnson challenges readers to rethink what it means to live out authentic Christian ethics and social justice in a divided age.
Faith doesn’t have to fuel division—it can still spark renewal.
The Jesus Principle speaks to every believer longing for moral clarity, humility, and hope. Whether you’re evangelical, Catholic, mainline, or simply searching, this book offers a unifying roadmap for Christians determined to reclaim faith from fear and restore the radical compassion of Jesus.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. America is at a crossroads where faith, politics, and culture collide. "The Jesus Principle" offers a bold, disruptive framework for Christians seeking to move beyond the noise and reclaim the fierce compassion of Jesus. With a simple four-question "compass and filter," this book challenges readers to evaluate every belief, action, and public policy not by party line or tradition, but by the life and teachings of Jesus-asking: Does this bear the fruit of the Spirit? Does this care for the vulnerable? Would I want this done to me? Is it true? Through gripping true-life stories and fearless analysis, the book explores America's most divisive issues: food insecurity and poverty, healthcare and human dignity, race and opportunity, immigration and belonging, environmental justice, LGBTQ inclusion, Christian nationalism, and women's agency. Each chapter puts conservative and progressive Christian perspectives to the test, exposing the "dueling Bibles" that split church and nation-and calling believers out of their comfort zones into radical love, justice, and hope. A guide for anyone wrestling with their conscience and convictions, "The Jesus Principle" is not a new doctrine but a practical tool to cut through cultural tribalism and sharpen faith's focus on the neighbor, the outsider, and the truth. It is an invitation to honest, courageous, and compassionate Christianity-one willing to risk comfort for justice, humility, and a faith that moves the heart and transforms communities. No matter your background or beliefs, this book is a call to action for a new era: one where moving toward Jesus means moving toward genuine inclusion and hope-for all.
