A small passage from Obama's new book

I'm returning again to the question of faith, religion and politics. This is an area that continues to pop up in different areas of my life and seems a source of some wisdom that I've yet to learn. Anyway, there is an interesting article on Obama from ThomasPaine.com reflecting on how his rhetorical skills might provide the progressives with a framework with which to wage the 2008 campaign. Within this, however, is also a link to a Time article which quotes a passage from Obama's forthcoming book. Well worth the ten minutes it will take to read.
