The Political Samaritan

release date: Nov 16, 2017
The Political Samaritan
Nick Spencer sets out to rescue an innocent parable, mugged for political ends, ignored by passers-by, and then left for half-dead at the edge of the English language. The parable of the Good Samaritan has been used by almost every major British politician over recent years – from Theresa May and Tony Blair to Margaret Thatcher and Jeremy Corbyn. But they don''t all use it to say the same thing. Discussing the various figures who''ve politicised the Samaritan, Spencer – described by the Economist as ''like a prophet crying in the post-modern wilderness'' – explains why and how Jesus'' famous parable got mixed up in politics. From abolitionists to warmongers, prime ministers to activists such as Dr Martin Luther King, he uncovers the reasons for the parable''s popularity – and then asks the killer question: who gets it right? If the Good Samaritan has been dragged on to the political stage, whose side is he on?

Playing God

release date: Mar 21, 2024
Playing God
Could science one day ''defeat death''? What would alien contact mean for humanity? Has medicine finally found a cure for sadness? Will AI replace us? For too long, the ''science and religion'' debate has fixated on creation, evolution, cosmology, miracles and quantum theory. But this, argue Nick Spencer and Hannah Waite, is a mistake. Religious belief has survived, and thrived, under many different models of the universe. It was never intended to be a competing explanation for the science of any age. Where science and religion really do come together - sometimes furiously, sometimes fruitfully - is over the status and nature of the human. And that has never been more important than today. Whether it''s the quest for immortality or the search for alien life, the treatment of pandemics or ''animal personhood'', AI or mental health, abortion or genetic editing, science is making advances that are posing huge questions about what it means to be human, whether we should change ourselves, and how far we should ''play God''. These developments are only going to grow in significance. Playing God brings readers up to date with the latest developments but also draws out their moral and religious dimensions. In so doing, it shows how the future of science and religion is inextricably tied up with the future of humanity.
