This is a critical exploration of the theology of providence in the history of the church. Particular attention is devoted to the practical contexts of providentialism in politics, science and spirituality in the modern era. While critical of traditional formulations and uses, the volume aims to offer a chastened but constructive account.

This book revisits the tradition of Christian political theology and explores the relationship of the church to the state and civil institutions via the concept of civil society. It assesses the effect of the First Amendment in the USA and defends the case for continuing disestablishment in England and Scotland.
