The Subversive Manifesto: Lifting the Lid on God's Political Agenda
Lifting the Lid on God's Political Agenda
Description
Lifting the lid on God’s political agenda
God has a political agenda – and it’s a subversive one, according to this book which lays down a radical challenge for Christians to rediscover the political dimension of their faith. All too often we stick with ‘private’ readings of scripture, failing to realize the power contained in its amazing stories and ideas. In fact the Bible presents a faith that is wider and more exciting than we realize – a faith that can change not only people’s hearts but also the way societies are run, economies are structured, and legal systems organized.
With illustrations drawn from the author’s experiences in the ‘corridors of power’, this book combines an innovative interpretation of the Bible with challenging ideas for applying it to everyday life.
Jonathan Bartley is director of the think-tank Ekklesia. He has worked for five Members of Parliament and was part of John Major’s campaign team in the 1995 Conservative Party leadership election. He was general secretary of the cross-party Movement for Christian Democracy from 1997 to 2000 and is now a columnist for Christian Herald and Third Way, and a tutor in Politics and Theology for Sarum College, Salisbury.
