Now, in this intense and exciting work, he explores in a systematic way how those two dimensions of human reality can be conceived anew and together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaylor argues that the decline of political discourse, the justification of torture and preemptive war, mass incarceration, the misuse of religion to justify atrocity, and most especially the sheer weight of suffering in the worldall these developments urge us to reconceive theology itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn conjunction with the latest insights of political theory, decolonial thought, and spectral theories in contemporary philosophy, Taylor suggests that the political is the context of the theological and a realm in which we can discern, beyond simple categories of transcendence and immanence, a transimmanence that is theologically illuminative and politically liberating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Lewis Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0800697898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800697891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.44h x 6.24w x 0.88d","brand":"Mark Lewis Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926099296511,"sku":"9780800697891","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ab624f2a-3d38-47d5-adf7-82a6ea0293bd.jpg?v=1681081194","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-theological-and-the-political-mark-lewis-taylor-9780800697891","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
