Book: God's Century: Resurgent Religion and Global Politics
A global view on political theologies: Monica Duffy Toft (Harvard), Daniel Philpott (University of Notre Dame), and Timothy Samuel Shah (Georgetown University), "God's Century: Resurgent Religion and Global Politics" (W.W. Norton & Company, March 2011).
Excerpt: "Our aim is to show not only that religion matters but also how it matters. Our second thesis is that a religious actor's political theology and its relationship to political authority explain much about why it takes on the kind of politics that it does - violent or peaceful, democratic or dictatorial, and the like. ... Political theology is a matter of how religious actors think and promulgate their ideas."
