Opis

This book unpacks the core message of the Labour Church and question views of the movement by analysing its history, significance and meaning. The religious influences on late-19th / early-20th century British Socialism are examined and placed within a wider context, highlighting a continuing theological imperative for the Labour movement.

 

Recenzje

'I mistakenly began Johnson’s book expecting it would be a general history of this duality in the journey of the party – however, the first half is a detailed account of a small forgotten by-way off the main highway - one which I found fascinating...Johnson’s book is both a tribute to Trevor, an interesting account of his life and work and an analysis of the continuing interweaving strands of faith and political struggle.'
