This book makes a significant contribution to the contemporary
debate about equality and argues that Christian notions of equality
are still challengingly relevant in today's world and in
contemporary discussion.A central place is afforded to issues of
public policy and economic relationships, since in the author's
view a decent community should affirm and demonstrate a commitment
to justice in the way it is structured and in its dealings with its
members, particularly the poor, the vulnerable and the excluded.
Duncan Forrester's book is essential reading on a disturbing topic
which most of us acknowledge but with which few of us know how to
deal. Like the author, I feel guilty every time I see a beggar on
the streets or at the door. I know that in God's sight we are
somehow equal, but there is a huge gulf between us. Can it be
bridged? What does it require of us? Forrester writes out of a
lifetime of wrestling with such questions, and also with passion,
clarity, and conviction.' John W de Gruchy, Professor of Christian
Studies, University of Cape Town 'This is a profound and moving
book: profound in its rigorous engagement with some of the deepest
questions in social and political theory; moving in that it attends
closely to the impact of poverty and inequality on the lives and
prospects of ordinary people.' Raymond Plant, Professor of
Politics, University of Southampton Duncan B Forrester is Professor
of Theology and Public Issues at the University of Edinburgh. His
many books include Theology and Politics, Beliefs, Va/ues and
Policies, and Christian justice and Public Policy.
