There has long been a tradition in the Christian church which has
discerned in the scriptures an imperative towards radical political
action. Beginning with the Fathers and their writings on the
community of goods, it can be traced through the mystics of the
middle ages and radical reformers and Puritans of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, to Christian socialists, liberation
theologians and social activists of more recent times.
Though remarkable for their incisiveness, originality and
distinctive theological perspective, these writings have often
failed to reach a wide readership. Bradstock and Rowland have now
brought more than sixty extracts together in this one volume,
including some which have been newly translated and many which have
long been unavailable. This has resulted in a unique and immensely
valuable resource, which includes letters, sermons, poems,
liturgies and other writings from the third- to the twenty-first
century.
This volume, which fills a gap in the current literature, will
be an essential resource for third-year undergraduates and above in
Biblical studies, political theology, Church history and political
theory.
