I found it quite interesting. It is very well structured.

This is an accessible discussion of an important debate, which is being conducted at a variety of levels at the present moment. The deconstruction of the traditional understanding of the relationship of the Church to the political system in the West is a welcome contribution to this ongoing debate. The appeal to ‘anarchy’ should not dismay more conservative readers as Jonathan Bartley uses this term to make an appeal to Gospel values. A good read, which most thinking believers will find beneficial for their understanding of having faith the contemporary context.

'Faith and politics after Christendom? offers the reader a view of contemporary religion and politics that is both questioning and challenging. In a ?post Christian age?, Jonathan Bartley questions the role of institutions both political and ecclesial. He bids us consider what it is to live in a multi cultural , even secular society, where Christianity is stripped of its traditional protections of both establishment and its attendant political authority. This is not so much a book of answers but of pertinent questions. It deserves a wide reading.

The main churches in Britain continue to cling on to the wreckage of Christendom, and postmodern theology is increasingly neoconservative. This book is a clear and rigorous plea for Christians to face their situation more honestly, to seek a vision that is free of nostalgia.

At a time when the whole relationship between faith, government and public policy is undergoing a historic change in every part of the world, Jonathan Bartley has made a highly intelligent contribution to a debate which citizens of all creeds, and of none, ought to be following.

How do Christians engage in religiously plural and sometimes aggressively secular society, now that the Church's authority is no longer universally accepted, or even respected and where its interventions in matters of morality, ethics, social work and education are often viewed with criticism, scorn and suspicion? With his background as a former political adviser at Westminster and now director of the Ekklesia thinktank, Jonathan Bartley, one of the smartest young evangelicals around, offers compelling insights and suggestions, based on deep thought and clear-headed research.
