Abstract

Marx’s critique of religion can help explain young adult experimentation with Church. British young people face the sharp end of high consumption capitalism and the unravelling of Modern era narratives.
I am hopeful British Christianity can offer more than religious opium; perhaps the cocaine of radical discipleship to pursue Jesus-shaped justice? That would truly constitute a revival.
