Politics in Theology

This volume examines the relationship between religion and politics from a historical perspective, addressing specific moments in which political governance intersects with religious ideals in dramatic ways. Topics of the essays include discussions on the tensions produced by secularism within Islamic culture, the influence of Catholic theology in workers’ political movements, and how Hinduism has been transformed by politics. These moments question the relationship between religious sentiments and political solutions and threaten to reorder the geopolitical landscape.
