Stephanie Block, a regular columnist at Spero, has released online the third volume of her book on the influence of Alinskyian political operators among churches in the U.S.

Already available through Spero are the first two volumes of the four volume work, Change Agents: Alinskyian Organizing in Religious Bodies. For many years, Block has followed political progressives and their inroads among various religious communities. Inspired by the work of Saul Alinsky, an atheist community organizer who was especially active in the Chicago area from the 1940s for several decades, and his book Rules for Radicals, fellow radicals and progressives infiltrated various churches and community groups to put leftist ideology into practice.
