explicit reference

george saunders - bill clinton, public citizen

"the book of james says faith without works is dead," [bill clinton] says. "'show me your works and i will know your faith,' you know? while there is no explicit reference to, let's say, homosexuality in the new testament, no explicit reference to abortion, there are hundreds and hundreds of reference to he imperative of acting to help people who are in genuine need, who are less fortunate than you, whom you can help, and you're supposed to do it without regard to your own economic or social standing. the only test is whether you can make a difference in someone else's life without disadvantaging or really hurting someone in your circle of primary responsibility, you know, your family."
