Abstract
This thesis is a research contribution at the interface of public policy, (Christian) religion and empirical enquiry as a feature of political and social policy studies. It constitutes a focused and original analysis and critique of the justifying rationales and manner that various parts of the Christian religion mobilise to provide or facilitate social welfare in a variety of ‘British’, mainland European and African settings.
The context of the study was a period in which the everyday life of the state and the churches had been changed or was (and is) changing as the old bureaucratic hierarchies and welfare assumptions of the post-war period collapsed to be increasingly replaced by a new multi-layered world of constant re-invention and networked governance.
Combined the papers that comprise the thesis seek to address some of the misunderstandings, misrepresentations and oversimplifications made about social welfare agency by some church leaders and by some policymakers too in the new welfare arena.
In doing so they ultimately draw out insights that begin to identify a way that a new carescape can be actively assessed and enriched by evidence-informed analysis to enhance insight and social welfare practice. This enhancement could benefit several institutions and actors in societies, but especially help an understanding of (Christian) religion as it relates to social welfare after the post-war consensus.
