Church, Gospel, and Empire

Theology

“"What is the relationship between Christian theology and political sovereignty? Why has the Church consistently allied itself with temporal political power from the Roman Empire to contemporary capitalism? And how might we imagine a different kind of theological politics that resists the lure of empire, sovereignty, and power? In this powerful, controversial, and passionately argued book, Roger Haydon Mitchell offers a genealogy of political theology--its past, its present, and, most importantly, its future. It is a study that will be of interest to anyone working in the fields of theology and politics.”
