political theology in the early twenty-first century, and will be
an invaluable guide for many theology students.' Peter Sedgwick,
Church Times
'The editors of this volume had the daunting task of bringing order
to the chaotic world of political ideology. They have succeeded …
and they managed to do so in a fraction of the pages one might
expect.' Kristen Deede Johnson, Anglican Theological Review
'As it stands, this work is an informative, illuminating, and
sometimes insightful introduction to significant developments and
discourses in the last seventy-five years of political theology.'
Brian A. Williams, Studies in Christian Ethics
'This is a book that I intend to return to again and again and one
well worth spending both money and time investing in. Do not expect
to put it down after reading even just one chapter without at least
a dozen questions buzzing about in your head. It asks them and it
provokes them in equal measure and that, I suggest, is a very good
thing.' Ashley Lovett, Regent's Reviews
