'Stories from the Street: A Theology of Homelessness' by David Nixon [Review by John Kurht]

The structure of the book promises much.  David Nixon, an Anglican Priest in Plymouth, constructed the book around interviews with eleven people who have experienced homelessness – these are the 'stories from the street'.  Their centrality to the book gives a prominence and weight to the real life stories of actual homeless people
 
 a 'theology of homelessness' should help define what the Church has to say about justice, hope and transformation.  Disappointingly, Stories from the Street does not achieve this.
