Stories from the Street

Stories from the Street is a theological exploration of interviews with men and women who have experienced homelessness at some stage in their lives. Expanding the existing literature of contextual theology, this book provides an alternative focus to a church-shaped mission by advocating with, and for, a very marginal group, suggesting that their experiences have much to teach the church. Engaging with contemporary political and cultural debates about poverty, housing and public spending, Nixon presents a unique theological exploration of homeless people, suffering, hope and the human condition.
