A very helpful discussion of a neglected and important subject' Mary Midgley. Nick Spencer draws on Darwin's autobiography, manuscripts, notebooks and letters - as well as his world-famous publications - in exploring Darwin's view of design, purpose, morality, the universe and the human mind. The author argues that, although Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection did undermine his Christian faith, it was the age-old problem of suffering - first in theory, then through the dreadful loss of his favourite child - that caused it to break down. Darwin and God is the first full-length account of Darwin's religious beliefs to be published in the UK. Meticulously-researched, it presents a moving, compelling and tumultuous story of one of the world's greatest scientists.

The Bible's influence on British politics has been as immense as it has been ignored, and this book uses the unique opportunity of the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James' Bible to outline and celebrate that influence. 2011 marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James' Bible and will see a great deal of celebration and comment about the impact of the Bible on British culture. Much of the story is well-known, such as the Bible's seminal influence on British language and literature, but one aspect—the influence of the Bible on English politics—is largely unknown or ignored. Freedom and Order seeks to inform people of the Bible's critical and positive influence on politics in Britain throughout modern history.

2011 marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James' Bible and will see a great deal of celebration and comment about the impact of the Bible on British culture. Much of the story is well-known, such as the Bible's seminal influence on British language and literature, but one aspect—the influence of the Bible on English politics—is largely unknown or ignored. Moreover, when it is not ignored, the Bible's influence on politics is treated as that from which we have escaped, in order that we may enjoy our current freedoms, rather than something that contributed positively to political thought or history. This is misleading. Freedom and Order seeks to inform people of the Bible's critical and positive influence on politics in Britain throughout modern history.

Progress in Community Child Health is a new series reviewing important developments of interest to community health professionals. The series aims to focus on community-based approaches to child health and will provide up-to-date key points for clinical practice. Topics to be covered include: social paediatrics, health promotion, disability, service management, child protection, public health, adoption and fostering, audiology and visual impairment, pre-school surveillance, health/education medicine, special education needs, epidemiology and the interface between the community and general paediatrics (infectious diseases, genetics, neurology, psychiatry etc.). In this way the series should give a valuable theoretical backdrop for those professionals working to improve and develop community child health.

What has Christianity ever done for us? A lot more than you might think, as Nick Spencer reveals in this fresh exploration of our cultural origins.
 Looking at the big ideas that characterize the West, such as human dignity, the rule of law, human rights, science, and even, paradoxically, atheism and secularism,he traces the varied ways in which many of our present values grew up and flourished in distinctively Christian soil.
 Always alert to the tensions and mess of history, and careful not to overstate or misstate the Christian role in shaping our present values, Spencer shows us how a better awareness of what we owe to Christianity can help us as we face new cultural challenges.
