In this ground-breaking work, Andrew Shanks argues that God is most present in a culture where public debate over ethical issues flourishes best. Both Church and State are now faced by the emerging challenge from feminist movements, peace movements, green movements, and so forth. Transcending confessional religious divisions and unfettered by the constraints of party politics, such movements potentially represent a whole new species of pure consciousness-raising anti-politics.

In this ground-breaking work, Andrew Shanks argues that God is most present in a culture where public debate over ethical issues flourishes best. Both Church and State are now faced by the emerging challenge from feminist movements, peace movements, green movements, and so forth. Transcending confessional religious divisions and unfettered by the constraints of party politics, such movements potentially represent a whole new species of pure consciousness-raising anti-politics. But what would a theology look like if it sought, first and foremost, to capture the common ethos of such movements? Addressing this issue, "God and Modernity" yields compelling insights into a new way of understanding the relationship between theology and politics.
Andrew Shanks is a priest in the Church of England, currently working for the diocese of York. He is also the author of Hegel's Political Theology and Civil Society, Civil Religion.
