Více o knize

The book explores the influence of Frank Field's Anglican faith and the principles of English Idealism on his political ideals. It highlights the lives and contributions of five key figures who shaped his understanding of public theology: the Temple archbishops, George Bell's wartime advocacy, William Beveridge's welfare reforms, and Eleanor Rathbone's efforts for inclusive citizenship. Through these examples, Field illustrates how these ideals can inspire politicians in a cynical age, emphasizing the intersection of faith and political responsibility.
