In dialogue with Scripture and various traditions, Bretherton examines the dynamic relationship between who we are in relation to God and who we are as moral and political animals. He addresses fundamental political questions about poverty and injustice, forming a common life with strangers, and handling power constructively. And through his analysis of debates concerning, among other things, race, class, economics, the environ­ment, and interfaith relations, he develops an innovative political theology of democracy as a way through which Christians can speak and act faithfully within our current context.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Luke Bretherton</note> <subject> <topic>Christian sociology</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christianity and politics</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Political theology</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">261.7</classification> <classification authority="ddc">B844-L95</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780802876409,</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15510/22.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15510/22.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071504.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
