Text:
During the 20th century the English Dominican Province was notable for nurturing political radicalism. In particular, both Laurence Bright and Herbert McCabe were instrumental in providing mentorship to the Slant group, well-known for the pursuit of Christian-Marxist dialogue. This talk will lay out the politico-theological ideas of Bright, McCabe and Slant, and will situate them with respect to the broader Dominican tradition.
