Book excerpt: "These 1987 Reith Lectures are an attempt to isolate and identify the political and social ideas employed by contemporary Christians. Beginning with a critical analysis of the modern politicization of religion, Dr, Norman proceeds to an examination of specific areas in which the conflict of ideologies has elicited strong Christian responses--in the social radicalism and Marxism of the Latin American Churches, in the Human Rights controversy over religious conditions in the Soviet Union, in the racial and national upheavals of Southern Africa. The result is a wide ranging discussion of present tendencies and a general scepticism about the property of associating Christianity with any set of political values." - Publisher
