Article: Critique and Promise in Paul Tillich's Political Theology: Engaging Giorgio Agamben on Sovereignty and Possibility
Here goes again: Gregory Walter (St. Olaf College), "Critique and Promise in Paul Tillich's Political Theology: Engaging Giorgio Agamben on Sovereignty and Possibility" ("The Journal of Religion", 90 [4], October 2010: 453-74).
Excerpt: "Theologians who seek a firm pact (ewiger Vertrag) between themselves and another domain have much at stake in the well-being of that non-theological partner, especially when it seems that the other sphere has significant difficulties of its own. Giorgio Agamben has called attention to problems with the definition of the nature of the political itself. It seems ... that the very idea of sovereignty can turn everything into the political. There would in this sense be nothing apolitical, nothing transcending the political sphere in any sense in order to critique or modify it."
Google+ continues to have problems with certain links. I'm not sure why, but I can, for example, not link to any Equinox journals (including "Political Theology"). In this case, I could link to the journal's table of contents, but not to the actual article, which can be found here: http://www.jstor.org/pss/10.1086/654823
No abstract provided.
