5Insightful and focused  Mar 30, 2006
By C. Denby "Blue Phi 1914"
Mr. Anglin's book was well written and did a phenomenal job of analyzing societal views on Affirmative Action, without diluting his message by shooting off into related tangents. He was able to have a well-rounded understanding of all of the inherent issues, without having to express opinions on all of them. The book's juxtaposition of biblical references and affirmative action policy was eye-opening, to me mostly because of the comparisons that can be drawn between the cultural/racial relationships of today to those dating as far back as biblical times.

Overall, a great read for an open-minded person. Would make a nice addition to college course curriculum dealing with race relations and/or religion as it relates to today's society.

5Worth The Read  Apr 15, 2007
By Nimbilasha Cushing
I bought the book not knowing what to expect exactly. This is not a new topic but was treated in an innovative way that I 'd not previously considred. As a Christian, it was a compelling read, though it's style lends itslef to non-sectarian readers as well.

It was worth my time and the price of the book and I've ecommended it to others.

5Outstanding and Timeless!  Feb 16, 2007
By D. Savage
The author does a great job framing the Affirmative Action debate. Moreover, his discussion on Affirmative Action from a biblical perspective was spiritually filling. No matter where you currently stand on the Affirmative Action dilemma, "The Affirmative Action Dilemma" will force you to do an introspection on your position!

5Putting it in perspective  May 17, 2006
By SGuyton
This book is truly worth reading. I consider it a
reality check for those who have lost sight of the
real purpose of Affirmative Action or choose to
believe otherwise. The author does an excellent job
analyzing and clarifying the issues while referencing
them to their biblical origins. Thus, the book
inspires Christians to allow their faith to become the
guiding force by which to remedy this grave societal
ill - the Affirmative Action dilemma!

5Thoughtful Integrity!!!  Apr 06, 2006
By A. N. Olatunji
This concise and insightful literary work extends an honorable tradition of religious faith as a force not only for addressing social problems but also for rectifying them! Through a skillful application of biblical scriptures to the affirmative action controversy, the author demonstrates why and how Christians--of all creeds and colors--can apply their faith to improve secular affairs. A book well-worth the read for anyone who is unaware, concerned--or confused--about the link between religion and politics!!!
