(Nashville, Tenn.) – During the Democratic National Convention, the eyes of the world will be fixed on one presidential candidate, Barack Obama. He is the “rock star” politician, “the face of the Democratic Party’s future,” and the “skinny kid with the funny name” who has ascended to the summit of American politics. His religious faith is both the fuel of all that he has achieved and the source of the greatest challenges in his pursuit of the presidency.

With the need to provide a fair minded and objective examination of the candidate’s faith, bestselling author Stephen Mansfield writes La Fe de Barack Obama (The Faith of Barack Obama, Thomas Nelson Publishers, published in Spanish by Grupo Nelson, September 8, 2008). In this new book, Mansfield provides us with the most thoroughgoing examination of the role of religion in the Democratic presidential candidate’s life to date. The author provides an analysis of Obama that is sure to surprise people across the political divide—and provoke widespread discussion about an issue that continues to be front and center in this year’s election.
