Recenzje

'Through an innovative approach to the role of faith in politics, this volume considers political theologies of the real formulated during the twentieth century and proposes that, while religion in the West has been committed to absolutist vision, these theologies have drawn their strength from a commitment to their concrete, divinely infused reality.' Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology
