商品簡介
`This is one of the most lucidly composed and carefully constructed books on political theology. Undergraduates and graduate students alike will greatly appreciate Elizabeth Phillips' systematic thinking and crystal clear writing. I can't wait to use this book in the classroom!'
`This book is unlike any other. It is an accessible map of the field of political theology, providing a brief history of its emergence, an outline of types of approach, and a sampling of how major theologians have dealt with the central issues in political theology. The clear organization and writing make the book ideally suited for the classroom. Beyond introducing the thought of others, Phillips also interjects insightful comments and questions into the text that show her to be a worthy participant in the wider conversation that she summarizes so lucidly. This book is a valuable contribution to a growing field.'
`A fine introduction to political theology. Writing in a style that makes the book eminently suitable for undergraduate as well as postgraduate students, Phillips offers a refreshingly non-partisan presentation, focusing on both theological sources and political contexts. Discussion of important historical figures - such as Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Barth and Bonhoeffer - is complemented by an engagement with contemporary political theologians - from Gutierrez and Cone to Yoder and O'Donovan, from Milbank and Cavanaugh to Althaus-Reid and Ruether. Interwoven with these discussions is the critical consideration of contexts: from "liberal society" to "marginalization". Above all, the reader is persuaded that political theology matters. A compelling introduction.'
