The Future of Political Theology

Recent shifts in the contemporary cultural political and religious landscape are engendering intensive attention concerning political theology. New trends and traditional ideas equally colour these movements. Given that a medley of recent books and articles have exhaustively treated both the history and the current resurgence of political theology we now find ourselves faced with the task of reinventing and redefining the future of political theology. This book presents a rich overview of fresh contemporary theoretical approaches uniquely prioritizing the prospects of the future of political theology but also making room for significant interventions from philosophy and political theory. Including prominent essays on Judaic Islamic Buddhist and Christian perspectives this book balances elements from post-modern theology with more classical as well as anti-post-modern approaches.
