The work of Richard Harries, Bishop of Oxford from 1987 to 2006, has been highly distinctive for the consistency of its engagement with contemporary society. It represents a model of the Church which is outward-looking, a Church which is as ready to learn from others as it is to offer its own wisdom and resources. This book reflects on Richard Harries' ministry in the 'borderlands' of society and Church, and engages deeply with the nature of modern society and the place of the Church within it. Taking Richard Harries' contributions as their inspiration, key figures, each of them major commentators on areas of pressing contemporary concern, probe the important questions which people are asking about a range of social issues. Arms and violence, the role of the media in public life, spirituality, multifaith Britain, sex, capitalism, the second chamber, and medical ethics are all discussed, building up a serious debate on the kind of society in which we live and making suggestive comments about the part which the Church might play.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Includes some kind of content list that came with the order addressed to someone. Public Life and the Place of the Church by Michael Brierley is a thought-provoking exploration of how the Christian church can and should engage with contemporary public life. At a time when religious voices often seem either marginalized or strident, Brierley offers a nuanced, hopeful vision for the church?s role in shaping society. Drawing on theology, philosophy, and political theory, he challenges readers to rethink assumptions about the separation of faith and public affairs. Rich in insight and deeply relevant, this book calls on both church leaders and laypeople to rediscover the church?s unique contribution to the common good. Essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, politics, and public discourse. Codice articolo 2772
