Historically, evangelicals have made many constructive contributions to the transformation of society. During the nineteenth century, William Wilberforce, Lord Shaftesbury and others established evangelicalism as a major reforming movement and their legacy lives on in a host of modern-day evangelical campaigns and societies. Evangelicals themselves, however, have often differed on the theology and strategy of social transformation. This major volume brings together historical, biblical, political, missiological and theological reflections on social transformation as a resource for those reflecting on and involved in social engagement. Contributors include David Bebbington, Jim Wallis, George Carey, John Coffey, Martyn Eden, Joel Edwards, David Hilborn and James Jones.
