Preserving the Penultimate: The Church and Healthcare in the Light of Bonhoeffer’s and Schweitzer’s Theology and Practice
Robert Jaggs-Fowler
James Clarke & Co., 2026, 356 pp., pbk., £25.00.
Did the Church of England cede too much ground to the political sphere in its endorsement of the Attlee government’s creation of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948? Is it time for the Church of England to reclaim some of that lost territory, by increasing its contribution to the provision of healthcare? Robert Jaggs-Fowler thinks that it is, and his latest book mounts a series of original, penetrating and skilfully presented theologically-based arguments in support of that position. It’s a perspective that chimes with other work that has been done by writers such as Phillip Blond and James Noyes, Holistic Mission: Social Action and the Church of England (London: Republica, 2013).
