Political Theology
Key Concepts
Description
This compendium of key concepts in the field of political theology spans from Acclamation to Violence and God to Government. Written by major figures in politics, philosophy and religion, it is an elegant and accessible guide to the history of political theology, a description of its current state of play and a major contribution to the task of creating its future.
In each of the book's thirty essays readers will find a history of the relevant concept, a summary of key debates and interpretations and a reflection on that concept's current and future significance within the field. Chapters are also accompanied by a short bibliography of further reading to enable the reader to pursue a concept in more depth. Among the collection's prestigious contributors are Montserrat Herrero on Charisma, Michael J. Shapiro on Phenomenon, and Agata Bielik-Robson on Life.
International and interdisciplinary in its scope, this keystone volume in Bloomsbury's Political Theologies series is an unparalleled survey of one of the most dynamic fields within contemporary political theory, philosophy and religious studies.
