The political theology of Barack Obama

Still an interesting piece, although published last year. The "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" on 12 January 2008 published an article titled "Die politische Theologie des Barack Obama" (The political theology of Barack Obama).

It was the German translation of an article, "Good news in bad times", by Jonathan Raban that was first published on 5 January 2008 in English:

The author argues that Obama's language and rhetoric is molded on black liberation theology.
