The current political, economic and financial crises facing the EU
reveal a deeper cultural, indeed spiritual, malaise - a crisis in
'the soul of Europe'. Many observers are concluding that the EU
cannot be restored to health without a new appreciation of the
contribution of religion to its past and future, and especially
that of its hugely important but widely neglected Christian
heritage, which is alive today even amidst advancing European
secularization. God and the EU offers a fresh, constructive and
critical understanding of Christian contributions to the origin and
development of the EU from a variety of theological, national and
political perspectives. It explains the Christian origins of the
EU; documents the various ways in which it has been both affirmed
and critiqued from diverse theological perspectives; offers expert,
theologically-informed assessments of four illustrative policy
areas of the EU (religion, finance, environment, science); and also
reports on the place of religion in the EU, including how religious
freedom is framed and how contemporary religious actors relate to
EU institutions and vice versa. This book fills a major gap in the
current debate about the future of the European project and will be
of interest to students and scholars of religion, politics and
European studies.
