George Bell remains one of only a handful of twentieth-century
English bishops to possess a continuing international reputation
for his involvement in political affairs. His insistence that
Christian faith required active participation in public life, at
home and abroad, established an eminent, and often provocative,
contribution to Christian ethics at large. Bell's participation in
the tragic history of the German resistance against Hitler has
earned him an enduring place in the historiography of the Third
Reich; his February 1944 speech protesting against the obliteration
bombing of Germany, made in the House of Lords, is still often
considered one of the great prophetic speeches of the twentieth
century. Throughout his long career, Bell became a leading light in
the burgeoning ecumenical movement, a supporter of refugees from
dictatorships of all kinds, a committed internationalist and a
patron of the Arts. This book draws together the work of leading
international historians and theologians, including Rowan Williams,
and makes an important contribution to a range of ongoing
political, ecumenical and international debates.
