Article: Jan Assmann and the Theologization of the Political

On political theology in ancient Egypt: Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins (Columbia University), "Jan Assmann and the Theologization of the Political" ("Political Theology", 12 [4], 2011: pp. 511-30).

Quote: "Assmann attempts to counter Schmitt's conception of modern secularization by suggesting that Mosaic monotheism inaugurated a revolution by theologizing the political. ... It will be attempted throughout this paper to bring conceptual clarification to Assmann’s notion of theologization by relating it to the question of political theology currently taking place [sic] in France and the English-speaking world."
