How to create a relational society: foundations for a new social order
Michael Schluter, March 2007 1 comment
Price: £0.99 (free online)
In an earlier Cambridge Paper (September 2006), a biblical Charter for Humanity was proposed within a relational framework. This second paper seeks to answer the question, How do we move towards relational well-being? The place where the Bible sets out the foundations required to create a society of right relationships in terms of structures, resources and processes is primarily in the law which God gives to Israel when it is first established as a nation. The paper explores how these institutional norms, as deepened and extended by the rest of biblical teaching, provide the basis for social transformation today.

What charter for humanity? Defining the destination of development
Michael Schluter, September 2006 No comments
Price: £0.99 (free online)
The word development describes a journey of economic and social change, but is often implicitly taken to define the destination as well. Economic growth is generally regarded as the purpose as well as the means of this social change. However, the biblical emphasis is on the quality of social, political, and economic relationships, which may be summarised as relational well-being (RWB). National aspirations should not focus primarily on levels or distribution of income, nor on individual freedom and choice. Rather, Christians should re-examine policy and project goals in both high-income and low-income societies from a relational perspective, so as to tackle relational deprivation as well as material poverty.

Globalisation (talk)
Paul Mills, January 2006
Price: FREE
The Bible has much to say about the path we should wish the process of globalisation to take. The potential for trade to benefit the poor is great but, too often, the rich do not play by the rules they insist that others respect. The facets of globalisation that undermine autocratic state power and help transmit the gospel are to be welcomed, whilst Christians should be wary of attempts to ever-weaken the nation state as the appropriate and democratic level of legislative power.
