Blair's Britain A Christian Critique

by Mark David Chapman

Mark D. Chapman analyses the transformation of British politics since the election of Tony Blair as prime minister in May 1997, raising questions about the role of the state, the nature of sovereignty and the meaning of community. He exposes what he calls 'the profound tragedy at the heart of modern politics', the betrayal by New Labour of the Christian values of fraternity, solidarity and co-operation which had underpinned the socialist vision. He goes on to offer a remarkably bold and original way forward for radical politics, drawing on democratic, socialist and pluralist ideas as well as the values of the Gospel and the Christian tradition."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
