Beyond Suspicion

Theology

“In this fine, critical analysis of two very different theological ethicists--the Anglican Oliver O'Donovan and the Anabaptist-Mennonite John Howard Yoder--Paul Doerksen rescues 'political theology' from its ideological distortion on the right (fascism), on the left (socialism), and in the centre (liberalism), grounding theo-political ethics squarely in scripture and the church as alternative political community. This is an important contribution to the growing literature in politics and theology, one in which political thought and action are grounded in sound biblical theology.”
