God has a political agenda – and it’s a subversive one, according to this book which lays down a radical challenge for Christians to rediscover the political dimension of their faith. All too often we stick with ‘private’ readings of scripture, failing to realise the power contained in its amazing stories and ideas. In fact the Bible presents a faith that is wider and more exciting than we realise – a faith that can change not only people’s hearts but also the way societies are run, economies are structured, and legal systems organised. With illustrations drawn from the author’s experiences in the ‘corridors of power’, this book combines an innovative interpretation of the Bible with challenging ideas for applying it to everyday life.
