Convention suggests it is best not to talk about faith and
politics: this book talks about both! It argues that Jesus was a
political figure who championed the rights of the marginalised, the
oppressed and voiceless. In this challenging and accessible book,
Nigel Pimlott argues young people are often marginalised, oppressed
and rarely heard in a world favouring the rich and powerful. Young
people are opinionated, passionate about what they think is right
and wrong, and are concerned about the world they live in. Yet
research indicates young people are disengaged from mainstream
political processes where they can express their views - young
adults have stopped voting in elections in unprecedented numbers.
This is something of a paradox. Nigel contends that by more
effectively equipping Christian youth workers and ministers to do
politicking, they will be able to better equip and disciple young
people to be more politically engaged in their own contexts. This
unique research-based book provides a concise overview of how youth
workers might best help young people flourish and realise the
common good. It engages those interested in politics - and more
importantly - encourages those not interested to get interested and
make a difference in the world!
