Often Christianity is perceived as a socially conservative and pro-capitalist religion oriented towards the right-wing political spectrum. But how valid is this interpretation when we remember that the first followers of Christianity were from among the oppressed? In The Christian Left, Anthony Williams problematizes the perception of Christianity as a religion of inequality by providing an introductory overview of currents of socialist and radical Christianity over the past 150 years. Focusing on contemporary Christian left movements-from Christian socialism to liberation theology, from Martin Luther King's civil rights movement to queer theology-Williams examines the major challenges facing the Christian left today, both from within Christianity itself and from the secular left. Do the Bible and Christian theology really support collectivism and universal equality? Can Christian radicalism remain viable in an era of identity politics?
