Political Theology: Key Concepts

30 essential concepts. 30 distinguished scholars. 1 landmark volume.
This collection is the first critical lexicon dedicated to the central concepts of political theology. Bringing together thirty specially commissioned essays - from 'Acclamation' to 'War' - it maps the conceptual terrain that has shaped, and continues to shape, political-theological inquiry. Featuring contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars across philosophy, theology and religious studies, political theory, law, history, and comparative literature, this volume offers an authoritative guide to the field and a vital point of reference for future research.

In each of the book's thirty essays readers will find a history of the relevant concept, a summary of key debates and a reflection on that concept's current and future significance within the field. Chapters are also accompanied by a short bibliography of further reading to enable the reader to pursue a concept in more depth. International and interdisciplinary in its scope, this keystone volume in Bloomsbury's Political Theologies series is an unparalleled survey of one of the most dynamic fields within contemporary political theory, philosophy and religious studies.
