Over the past two decades, a growing number of Christians in England have gone to court to enforce their right to religious liberty. Funded by conservative lobby groups and influenced by the legal strategies of their American peers, these claimants - registrars who conscientiously object to performing the marriages of same-sex couples, say, or employees asking for exceptions to uniform policies that forbid visible crucifixes - highlight the uneasy truce between law and religion in a country that maintains an established Church but is wary of public displays of religious conviction. 'Representing God' charts the changing place of public Christianity in England through the rise of Christian political activism and litigation.
