In Apocalypse Now?, Duncan Forrester argues that disorders and atrocities including the Gulag, the Holocaust, 9/11, the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and the Tsunami disaster have shown us that we stand in the midst of an apocalyptic age of terror with striking similarities to the time in which Christianity was born. He asks how religious ideas can play a positive role in the midst of conflicts and disasters and argues that there are huge resources in the Christian tradition that can be productively deployed for a constructive and faithful response

Michael Walzer's new book calls for a changed agenda in the discussion of liberalism. He challenges as simplistic celebration today of liberalism in the West as a kind of absolute moment, & he emphasizes the vital importance of an equality which is far more than the equality of the ballot box if democracy in its true sense is to flourish. This leads naturally to a consideration of the relation of religion in its various forms, including "furious religion," & democracy, & a strong emphasis on the importance -- & the dangers -- of emotions such as belonging & benevolence to the effective operation of a democratic society. On all these issues theology has much to say, & this paper hopes to help open from a theological angle a constructive debate on the issues arising from Walzer's important book. References.
