Description
Beyond Secular Order is the first of a two-volume work that expands upon renowned theologian John Milbank’s innovative attempt to understand both theology and modern thought begun in his previously published classic text Theology and Social Theory.
Continues Milbank’s innovative attempt to understand both theology and modern thought begun in Theology and Social Theory – considered a classic work in the development of systematic theology.
Authored by one of the world’s most influential and highly regarded contemporary theologians.
Draws on a sweep of ideas and thinkers to argue that modern secularism is a form of Christian heresy that developed from the Middle Ages and can only be overcome by a renewed account of Christendom.
Shows how this heresy can be transformed into a richer blend of religion, modernity, and politics.
Reveals how there is a fundamental homology between modern ideas about ontology and knowledge and modern ideas about political action, expressed in both theory and practice.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critics acknowledge the book as a significant and ongoing contribution to the dialogue between metaphysics and politics. As noted by Mockingbird, while the vision presented is "partial and imperfect," it remains an important critical and constructive reference for future discussions on modern thought and theology.
