- 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 research on and 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
- Solves the need for a text that relates theological issues to the different models of practice relating to church-state relations
