Recenzje

'This is a wonderfully comprehensive introduction to the very diverse landscape of Christian political radicalism over the last hundred and fifty years. Its global scope is especially valuable, as is its clear analysis of the tensions between much of the contemporary political Left, with its strong involvement in identity politics, and the traditions of Christian socialism, which is more preoccupied with solidarity. A candid, well-researched and timely study.'Dr Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury'A fine, readable, well-resourced and wide-ranging introduction to the spectrum of radical and socialist Christian thought.'Revd Canon Dr Jeremy Morris, former Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge"A valuable resource [...] readable, passionate, and accessible."Church Times
