Recenzii
This is a really important book. The relationship between the Labour party and the free churches is widely recognised, but very little understood. Peter Catterall has done a first-class job in combining an acute understanding of the Labour movement, and a deep knowledge of the nonconformist churches, to produce the first serious history of the relationship between the two. Based firmly on meticulous research in the relevant political and religious archives, Catterall constructs an analysis that comfortably outstrips anything that has gone before. This is a book that was urgently needed, and it will be the primary point of reference in its field for some time to come.
The Labour party was founded in a church hall and it used to be said that the labour movement owed more to Methodism than to Marxism. But now that we live in a post-industrial society and the 'Nonconformist Conscience' has all but gone, Labour finds itself with a serious identity crisis. Peter Catterall's brilliant new history takes us back to explain the Christian power-within that shaped the party that built the world's first social democracy.
