Description



Book Synopsis



Political theology is one of the most influential theological movements of the latter part of the twentieth century, and yet, as Arne Rasmusson argues here, the field suffers from deep inherent tensions in its attempt to mediate the Christian tradition and the modern emancipatory tradition. Rasmusson contributes to political theology through an innovative discussion of the relationship between church and society and an exposition of the thought and work of political theology's influential representative, Jürgen Moltmann. Rasmusson further refines his argument by filtering Moltmann's theology through an exploration of Stanley Hauerwas's theological positions.



Review Quotes




"The Church as Polis is a significant contribution to contemporary discussions on public theology and the relation between religion and politics." --Francis Fiorenza, Harvard University



"This comparative study . . . is a wide ranging and competent work that gives many insights into the theology of its two main 'characters, ' Moltmann and Hauerwas." --Pro Ecclesia



"This is a challenging, acute, revealing and, at times, immensely creative monograph. Rasmussen has tackled two of the icons of modern Reformed theology, Jergen Moltmann and Stanley Hauerwas, and he has done so positively and intelligently by refusing to condemn the 'failings' of his chosen subjects. . . . [A]n admirable study . . . but it is also an impressive theological argument . . . and as such should be read by anyone concerned with the role of ecclesiology in modern theology." --Reviews in Religion and Theology
