Christian Socialism

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Philip Turner finds in Christian—Anglican—Socialism a still-vital tradition of critique of the depredations of capitalistic modernity in the name of catholic counter-witness. Common care for one another, and shared moral commitment, properly precede self-expression and self-interest. Life together comes first. This is, indeed, a hope for today: that the church may speak anew of duty and holiness in the form of the Servant, and model in her own life the gospel of love.”

In the Breaking of the Bread

Preaching & Worship

“Here is a pastoral theology in the classic mode: where the practical questions of faith are tied to the person and revelation of God, and basic doctrines are unfolded in a gently accessible wisdom. Taking as his topic the heart of Christian worship as a transforming encounter with Christ the Word, Leander Harding writes in order to call forth in us a deeper devotion to the Trinity. These beautifully written pages are a gift to the Church.”
