This book aims to unpack the core message of the Labour Church and
question the accepted views of the movement by pursuing an
alternative way of analysing its history, significance and meaning.
The religious influences on late-nineteenth/early-twentieth-century
British Socialism are examined and placed within a wider context,
highlighting a continuing theological imperative for the British
Labour movement. The book argues that the most distinctive feature
of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder,
John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of
Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new
utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for
members of the Labour Church, who are referred to as Theological
Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about
God working through the Labour movement. Challenging the
historiography and reappraising the political significance of the
Labour Church, this book will be of interest to students and
scholars researching the intersection between religion and
politics, as well as radical left history and politics more
generally.
