Article: The Trouble with Transcendence: Carl Schmitt's "Exception" as a Challenge for Religious Studies

Still finding political theology articles published last year: Robert Yelle (University of Memphis), "The Trouble with Transcendence: Carl Schmitt's 'Exception' as a Challenge for Religious Studies" ("Method & Theory in the Study of Religion", 22 [2-3], 2010: pp. 189-206).

Quote: "Schmitt's thesis - namely, that secular liberalism is a disguised and disenchanted 'political theology' which depends on an exclusion of charismatic ruptures in the natural and moral orders - must be taken seriously. A genealogy of the prohibition of the miracle by the radical Reformation provides evidence for Schmitt's contention that an ostensibly secular modernity, no less than its theological opponents, has had its own trouble with transcendence or the 'exception.'"
