Theology and Politics by Duncan B Forrester

Theology and Politics by Duncan B Forrester

This book is an introduction to political theology and to the problems raised by the relationship of Christianity to the secular, political realism. It begins with a brief account of politics and religion in the ancient world, where the political and cosmic orders were generally understood to be mutually supportive. This mutual support was later to be challenged, notably by the development of critical philosophy, Jewish monotheism and the rise of Christianity. Duncan Forrester goes on to discuss the changing relationship of the public and private realms within Christian theology and to assess the competing arguments about the politicization of Christianity. "Theology and Politics" pays particular attention to liberation theology as the liveliest and most interesting style of current political theology. The use and abuse of the Bible in modern political theology is examined together with the development of the Christology emerging in Latin America. The book should be of interest to students of theology, religious studies and politics.
