Chris Wilson

This is the first major study to bring Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s theology into sustained dialogue with the Northern Irish context. There, a deeply divided society continues to wrestle with the legacy of decades of violence and ongoing political uncertainty. In this context, churches have often been shaped by four recurrent temptations: Christian nationalism, political quietism, triumphalism, and victimhood. Centring on Bonhoeffer’s understanding of the living presence of Jesus Christ, Wilson argues that the church’s vocation to proclaim the present Christ is decisive for resisting the pressures that have distorted Christian witness in divided societies. Developing a Christ-centred theology of proclamation, the book offers a dogmatically grounded and contextually attentive response to nationalism and conflict. It critiques the theological minimalism that has characterised many Irish theological responses and proposes an alternative approach rooted in Christ’s presence, agency, and self-disclosure in proclamation and Scripture. While focused on Northern Ireland, this study provides a highly instructive case for churches elsewhere facing similar entanglements of faith, politics, and identity. By reorienting political theology around the present Christ, it makes a significant contribution to contemporary Bonhoeffer studies and to global conversations on Christian responses to conflict and division.

Compare any two political maps, one from the early twentieth century and one from the present, and you will notice that the world now contains more democracies than it used to. How and why did democracy spread around the world? How do we recognize democracies when we see them? And what does the future of democracy look like? This book shows you how to define and measure democracy, and to identify what democracies have in common. It evaluates important recent trends in democratization and the challenges that face it including:- Democratic decay- Populism, authoritarianism and the far right - Threats posed by global terrorism and sectarian violence - The rise of ‘illiberal democracies’- Declining civic participation. Analysing economic development, education, industrialization and other factors, Democratization shows you the internal political, economic and social conditions that help or hinder democratization. Looking at globalization, political aid, military intervention and the ‘neighbourhood’-effect, it also explains how external factors put pressure on democratic reform. Covering key theories, such as modernization and democratic peace theory, and with case studies from Indonesia to the Zapatista movement, this is the ideal text for those studying democratization for the first time.

We're in a gigantic mess. Our civilization is collapsing, and we're dragging the whole Earth down with us. How do we make sense of such an awful situation? Chris Wilson takes this question back to its historical and cultural roots, especially the belief that everything in Nature is merely a resource for us to use in whatever way we think fit. This has given birth to an economy focused on industrial growth that is now so out of control that it threatens, in its death throes, to destroy all life on our planet. But a very different future is still possible, a future in which both we and the planet can survive and thrive. What might that future look like - and how can we help it to emerge? The author is a perennial 'outsider' with a healthy scepticism about our obsession with technological progress. He has worked in many fields, including science, education, building and psychotherapy. He brings his wide and varied experience, plus a wealth of academic knowledge, to this study.

"The Master Plan is less of a road map and more of a philosophy that we should all take to heart: We are all better than our worst decision, our sense of justice should honor the redemptive possibilities inherent in every person, and our destinies are truly intertwined."--Wes Moore, author of The Other Wes Moore Growing up in Washington, DC, Chris Wilson was surrounded by violence and despair. He watched his family and neighborhood shattered by trauma, and he lost his faith. One night when he was seventeen, defending himself, he killed a man. He was sentenced to life in prison with no hope of parole. But what should have been the end of his story became the beginning. Behind bars, Wilson embarked on a remarkable journey of self-improvement--reading, working out, learning languages, even starting a business. At nineteen, he sat down and wrote a list of all the things he intended to accomplish, and all the steps he'd have to take to get there. He called it his Master Plan. He revised that plan regularly and followed it religiously. Sixteen years later, it led him to an unlikely opportunity--and to a promise he has been working hard to live up to every day since. Harrowing, heartbreaking, and ultimately triumphant, The Master Plan is a memoir for this moment, proving that every person is capable of doing great things.
