Book Contents
The book is divided into two parts: the first explores how Christianity forms consciences and the second collects testimonies of historical and contemporary personalities who have intertwined their Christian spirituality with political commitment. Examples cited include Tina Anselmi, Maria Eletta Martini, Giuseppe Dossetti, Giorgio La Pira and David Sassoli. The volume emphasizes the evangelical image of leaven, symbolizing the discreet but influential presence of Christians in politics.
