DESCRIPTION:
This guide to a vibrant, fascinating, and sometimes bewildering subject is designed for both theology students and students from religious studies programs. Kirwan challenges believer and non-believer alike to learn a new language, so they can talk respectfully to one another.. Political Theology: An Introduction supplies both a historical overview of different ways in which Christian theology and the political have related to one another and an analysis of the current complex situation that fills the gap left by the decline of the doctrine of secularization. It avoids, or explains where necessary, technical theological terms and supplies a helpful glossary
