The Church as Polis: From Political Theology to Theological Politics as Exemplified by Jürgen Moltmann and Stanley HauerwasThe argument of this book is that political theology suffers both from deep inherent tensions in its attempt to mediate the Christian tradition and the modern emancipatory tradition, and from inadequate understandings of the nature of modern society and its own social base. This is shown through an exposition of its most prolific and influential representative, Jurgen Moltmann. |
