Shownotes

In the second part of his conversation, Luke turns to the themes within his book and explores its theological basis, highlighting how social justice is at the heart of discussions about class. He offers a view of social class as something to be eradicated rather than purely as an identity. Class as something that is imposed on groups of people was a theme raised in the research and Luke offers a political perspective alongside the discussions about cultural differences. With reference to union membership, to a collectivist outlook, and to elements of Liberation Theology that highlight God’s preference to the poor, Luke challenges and urges us to understand classism as a social justice issue.
