This is a response to Gareth Jones's critique of Changing Worlds, arguing that while this critique largely misunderstands the approach taken in the book, it does raise important questions about the prospect of war in the modern world. Crucial differences are identified in the use of theological rhetoric as a means of resolving differences about the legitimacy of war in the modern world. Adapted from the source document.

Theology Reforming Society tells the story of Anglican social theology from its roots in the writings and work of F.D. Maurice and the Christian Socialists, including Charles Kingsley and John Ludlow, and on to the work of William Temple. It also looks beyond Temple to the work of the Board for Social Responsibility, and to some of the theologians and church leaders who have continued its witness since then. Referring to the wider ecumenical context in order to draw out the distinctive features of the tradition of Anglican Social Theology, the book provides an important and comprehensive account for all those interested in Anglican theology, social and political theology and Christian ethics

Identifying & distinguishing the dominant features of civil religion, political theology, & public theology is an important aspect of the trans-Atlantic conversation about the role of religion in the common life. Civil religion is often a form of patriotic self-celebration that in the West, & particularly in the US, has often been expressed in terms of Christianity. Its defect lies in its lack of transcendental & thus critical reference. Political theology attempts to meet this defect by bringing the disciplines of theology & critical thought to bear on the relation between politics & religion. Political theology, however, too often equates or reduces the public to partisan or governmental policy, & understands the state as the institution that comprehends & guides all other spheres of society. Public theology seeks to remedy this by insisting that institutions of civil society precede regimes both in order of occurrence & by right, & insists that theology, in dialogue with other fields of thought, carries indispensable resources for forming, ethically ordering & morally guiding the institutions of religion & civil society as well as the vocations of the persons in these various spheres of life. 32 References.
