Description
Book SynopsisThe British and Foreign Bible Society is one of the most illustrious Christian charities in the United Kingdom. This title offers a study of how religion goes public in today's world. It traces how a small group of socially committed Christians tackle the challenge of publicity within (what they understand to be) a largely secular culture.
Trade Review"...The book thoroughly whets the appetites of those deeply interested in political theology and the place of reason in its public outworking." -- Brian Auten The Calvinist International "Excellent... God's Agents can be read as something of a sequel to Engelke's first book, no matter how different contemporary England may seem to be in comparison with Zimbabwe." Anthropological Quarterly
