From food banks to migrant welcome committees, and community
organisers to internet based campaigners, civil society is central
to the North Atlantic social landscape. Theology and Civil Society
advances our understanding of what civil society is and offers a
theologically informed re-imagining of our shared social life.
Prefaced by a foreword by the Rev. Dr Rowan Williams, this book
explores contemporary manifestations of the kind of collective
action observed in civil society since the 1800s. It then examines
civil society as the sum of modern associations which mediate our
relationships to the market and the state, but which cannot be
identified fully with either the market or the state. Finally,
three different perspectives on civil society are presented using
insights from theologians such as John Milbank and Georg Hegel.
This is a pertinent topic for contemporary society, and it is
explored expertly here by an international panel of contributors.
As such, it is an important volume for any scholar of Theology and
Religious Studies and their interactions with Sociology and
Politics.
