Will it rise to the challenge and focus its energy on the development of a fieldwork-led theology of liberation that can resource the struggle to make poverty history?Life on the Breadline represents the first fieldwork-based book by an academic theologian to identify, explore and analyse the spectrum of Christian responses to austerity-age poverty in the UK.
