Marginalization

Revd Canon John Atherton is Canon Theologian at Manchester Cathedral. He is also honorary lecturer in the Department of Religion and Theology at the University of Manchester. This book is a result of a life's experience in a variety of disciplines (politics, history and theology), and pastoral work with deprived communities in the UK.

"Although Atherton's work is tightly argued and substantiated, this is an accessible work for parish ministers and interested lay people as well as serious scholars. The inclusion of an experiential, concrete case study of Manchester is especially helpful in illustrating the book's more abstract concepts. (...) the book is an important contribution to developing an ecclesiology for developed urban cultures in the twenty-first century and beyond."
