The author shows that what holds us back is the outdated thinking of both political parties. In this very readable book he outlines a generative way of thinking that is responsive to the challenges of the 21st century. Roll Away the Stone demonstrates how a modern exodus from poverty is morally demanded and humanly possible by weaving together Biblical metaphor, real experience of the poor, inspiring stories of community action, and imaginative political reflection. The author graphically portrays the three essential elements for ending persistent poverty in the Unites States i.e., the removal of structural barriers that the poor cannot move themselves, the participation of the poor in their own liberation, and step-by-step release from vicious circles that perpetuate poverty.

Roll Away the Stone is an inspiring response to a painful subject - the escalating number of abused, neglected, and impoverished children and families and the mounting severity of their problems. The author uses a familiar Biblical story (the raising of Lazarus from death) as a powerful metaphor for social action that brings together in one interactive process the resourcefulness of the privileged community, the resilience of the victims, visionary leadership, and the mysterious workings of faith-in-action. The author then projects the issue of persistent poverty of women and children and the parallel increase of crime, drugs, homelessness, ill health, inadequate education and underemployment onto the national liberal - conservative political debate. He challenges the narrowness of the existing debate as grounded in outdated assumptions about how the world works, and describes new, emerging paradigms that can lead us toward a society that works for everyone.
