Book: The Problem with Grace: Reconfiguring Political Theology

Vincent W. Lloyd (Syracuse University) is the author of "The Problem with Grace: Reconfiguring Political Theology", published in April 2011 by Stanford University Press.

According to the publisher, the book "develops a post-secular, post-sectarian political theology, taking that burgeoning field in a new direction." It suggests no less than " that political philosophy must begin with political theology".

Says Victor Anderson (Vanderbilt): "This book will deepen post-modern/post-liberal discussions of religion and public life, public theology, and political theology."

Yet another recent publication, it seems, with an uncommonly ambitious remit. (Think Daniel Schultz, "Changing the Script", or Paul Kahn, "Four New Chapters" ...) What does the "onslaught" of such books say about the conceptual state of political theology, I wonder?
