ABSTRACT

In this book I have argued that a new chapter must be opened in urban theology to meet the needs of a new age. I have suggested that urban experience has become the normative context for theological reflection in twenty-first-century Britain and that the inner city is the dynamic space within which the challenges and the potential of translocal global urbanism are most clearly illustrated. I have sought to re-frame the central principles of liberation theology in the transformed context of Britain’s fourth world, which I see as a window onto a wider urban world.
