Product Description
Product Description
"The Subversive Manifesto" shows how Christians can formulate Bible-based political views and how Bible teaching should change the way power is used, societies are run, economies are structured, and legal systems are organised. The author urges everybody to get involved politically in some way, whether at national or local level. Examples are drawn from his own experience of working in the "corridors of power".

God clearly does have a political agenda,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Subversive Manifesto: Lifting the Lid on God's Political Agenda (Paperback)
God has a political agenda - and it’s a subversive one. This is the message of a new book written by Ekklesia’s director, Jonathan Bartley.“The Subversive Manifesto” is a call on Christians to rediscover the political dimension of their faith, and a challenge that Christianity should be more about subverting the social order than defending it. Subtitled; “Lifting the lid on God’s political agenda” the book draws on the author’s own experiences in Parliament, as part of the Rt Hon John Major’s campaign team in the 1995 Conservative party leadership election, and work for several Christian campaigning organisations. In so doing, the political approaches of Christians working both inside and outside the corridors of power are questioned thoughtfully. The author also challenges the way that current debates within the church have taken place, in particular the ‘tribalism’ that divides Christians into factions over issues such as homosexuality. Tackling subjects such as sexual ethics, family policy, disestablishment, war and the arms trade, the book argues that Christians must reject the quest for power and influence that so often characterises their political involvement. The author calls on the church, instead, to embrace a new politics based upon the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The book concludes by calling for the church to return to her roots as a subversive political movement that accepts Jesus’ radical call to embrace the values of the Kingdom of God
