The Scope of Political Theology

Since the publication of Alistair Kee's Reader in Political Theology, exploration of the subject has continued and its implications have been worked out in different parts of the world. This second collection includes material which has not previously been publish and the sections reflect the great variety of contexts in which political theology is nov appearing: political theology, Pentecostal conscience, feminist perspectives on theology, the politics of mission, spirituality in politics, Asian theology, ecology and community. The selections are from the works of well-known writers, including J. B. Metz, Rosemary Ruether and J. M. Bonino and also writers less well-known at least in the West, Tissa Balasuriya, Josef Widyatmadja and Carlos Talavera. Alistair Kee has written helpful introductions to each section, and there are biographical notes on the authors and suggestions for further reading in particular areas.
