{"product_id":"theopolitical-figures-montserrat-herrero-9781399522915","title":"Theopolitical Figures: Scripture, Prophecy, Oath, Charisma, Hospitality","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses the question of the extent to which theological discourse has been and is relevant to the origins of the meanings, symbols, and realities of some instituted political practices. This relevance has historically manifested itself in the hybridisation of theological and political concepts, images, gestures, and rituals. Indeed, some divine traces could be seen as embedded in institutionalised political practices. Theopolitical figures, then, are other names for God - in the sense of negative theology - that we find in instituted practices within the political realm. The book considers five theopolitical figures: scripture, prophecy, oath, charisma, and hospitality. In the symbolic meaning of these figures, we discern some central questions for contemporary societies, among them: the unconditional character of justice, the unfeasibility of historical expectation, the stability of the given word, the idea of power as a gift, and openness to the coming other as an ethical-political imperative. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Montserrat Herrero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399522914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399522915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Montserrat Herrero","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44254874468607,"sku":"9781399522915","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75107624-8a9b-4f26-913e-9ee6f2b04c87.jpg?v=1694614825","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theopolitical-figures-montserrat-herrero-9781399522915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
