Across the humanities and critical social sciences, even in popular discussion of current events, it has become a buzzword. Yet there is no consensus about its very definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis field-changing interdisciplinary book brings together three of the leading voices in political theology—a Christian theologian, a critical theorist, and an anthropologist—to offer new entry points to understand religion and politics. They explore similarities and differences in their approaches, guiding readers through scholarship in their own fields while also advancing a shared vision that speaks to crucial questions of justice in the contemporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRejecting the notion that political theology is a closed field with an established canon, the authors show it to be an open-ended, lively conversation that welcomes new participants. They demonstrate how voices and approaches from decolonial theory, Black studies, feminist and queer theory, new materialism, and ethnography, both in the Global North and in the Global South, are transforming the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book addresses concerns about political theology's ties to authoritarian and antidemocratic movements, demonstrating that an engaged political theology sheds critical light on volatile topics such as populism, racism, and ethnoreligious nationalism. At once accessible to students and groundbreaking for scholars, \u003ci\u003eWhat Is Political Theology?\u003c\/i\u003e provides a state-of-the-art global understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871587717356,"sku":"9780231222150","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8278203482270.jpg?v=1759885635"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/luke-bretherton.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
