Political theologies and development in Asia - Head Work
by Giuseppe Bolotta, Philip Fountain, R. Michael Feener
Description
This innovative and timely reassessment of political theology opens new lines of critical investigation into the intersections of religion and politics. Political Theologies and Development in Asia pioneers the theo-political analysis of Asian politics and in so doing moves beyond a focus on the (Post-)Christian West that has to date dominated scholarly discussions on this theme. It also locates 'development' as a vital focus for critical investigations into Asian political theologies. The volume includes contributions by leading anthropologists, sociologists, and political scientists. Each chapter brings new theoretical approaches into conversation with detailed empirical case studies grounded in modern Asia. Not only does the volume illustrate the value of this approach to a diverse set of Asian societies and religions, but it also provides a forceful argument for why political theology itself requires this broader horizon to remain relevant and critical.
