Congratulations to Luke Bretherton on winning the 2013
Michael Ramsey Prize for Theological Writing for Christianity
and Contemporary Politics!
Relations between religious and political spheres continue to
stir passionate debates on both sides of the Atlantic. Through a
combination of theological reflection and empirical case studies,
Bretherton succeeds in offering timely and invaluable insights into
these crucial issues facing 21st century
societies.
* Explores the relationship between Christianity and contemporary
politics through case studies of faith-based organizations,
Christian political activism and welfare provision in the West;
these case studies assess initiatives including community
organizing, fair trade, and the sanctuary movement
Offers an insightful, informative account of how Christians can
engage politically in a multi-faith, liberal democracy
* Integrates debates in political theology with
inter-disciplinary analysis of policy and practice regarding
religious social, political and economic engagement in the USA, UK,
and continental Europe
* Reveals how Christians can help prevent the subversion of the
church - and even of politics itself - by legal,
bureaucratic, and market mechanisms, rather than advocating
withdrawal or assimilation
* Engages with the intricacies of contemporary politics whilst
integrating systematic and historical theological reflection on
political and economic life
