Power and Privilege - A Theory of Social Stratification

The themes of power and privilege are currently the subject of high-profile, and often controversial, scrutiny in many churches. This collection draws together internationally renowned scholars and practitioners to consider what may be learned for Christian life today from the biblical stories of how individuals handled (and mishandled) the responsibilities of power and privilege. It aims to help readers and churches both to recognise the power they hold, and to inspire them to consider how they use it well to live wise and faithful lives.
