Jubilee Centre in bid to  revive Christian Democracy

Johannes de Jong

Christian democracy in Europe has ‘run out of new ideas’, resulting in voters increasingly supporting far-right populist parties, the director of a Christian political foundation has said.

Announcing the launch of new research into how the Bible impacts society, Johannes de Jong, head of the European Christian Political Movement’s research unit Sallux, said: ‘The idea of Christian democracy is failing.’

Sallux has commissioned Cambridge-based The Jubilee Centre for Biblical Thinking for Public Life to look into how the Bible relates to today’s economic, social and political challenges.
