For a secular age, we have a lot of religious politicians.Theresa
May, Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel, even Donald Trump all profess
Christianity, as did Obama, Brown, Sarkozy, Bush and Blair before
them. Indeed, it is striking how many Christian Presidents and
Prime Ministers have assumed the global stage over recent years. In
spite of Alastair Campbell's oft- (and mis-) quoted line, 'We don't
do God', it seems like we definitely do.But how sincere is this
faith? Is not much of it simply window-dressing for the electorate,
paste-on haloes to calm the moral majority? Conversely, how
dangerous is it? If we elect our politicians to do our democratic
will, do we really want them praying to God for advice?The Mighty
and the Almighty looks at some of the biggest political figures of
the past forty years - from Thatcher and Reagan, through Mandela
and Clinton, to May and Trump - and looks at how they 'did God'.
Did their faith actually shape their politics, and if so, how? Or
did their politics shape their faith? And does it matter if it
did?In an age when religion is more important on the global stage
than anyone would have predicted fifty years ago, this book will
tell you everything you want to know, and some things you won't,
about how the Mighty get on with the Almighty.
