This is a revised edition of John Milbank's masterpiece, which sketches the outline of a specifically theological social theory.
The "Times Higher Education Supplement" wrote of the first edition that it was "a tour de force of systematic theology. It would be churlish not to acknowledge its provocation and brilliance."
Brings this classic work up-to-date by reviewing the development of modern social thought.
Features a substantial new introduction by Milbank, clarifying the theoretical basis for his work.
Challenges the notion that sociological critiques of theology are 'scientific'.
Outlines a specifically theological social theory, and in doing so, engages with a wide range of thinkers from Plato to Deleuze.
Written by one of the world's most influential contemporary theologians and the author of numerous books.

Thomas F. Torrance, Professor Emeritus of Christian Dogmatics at the University of Edinburgh, is perhaps the most prominent theolgian to have taken seriously the challenge posed to theology by the natural sciences. He has constructed a thoroughly Christian model for interaction between the two disciplines, a model which does not begin from pure philosophical presuppositions but from the theological heart of the Christian Church: the incarnation. This book offers a clear and thorough overview of Torrance's insights into the theology - science dialogue. At the same time it presents a critical study of Torrance's Christological model, evaluating its significance for the relationship between theology and science.

This compilation explores the significance of religion for the controversies stirred up by populist politics in European and American contexts, engaging Jewish, Christian, and Islamic political thought. Moving beyond essentialist definitions of religion, the contributions offer critical interpretations and constructive interventions for political theology today.

The issue of debt and how it affects our lives is becoming more and more urgent. The "Austerity" model has been the prevalent European economic policies of recent years led by the "German model". Elettra Stimilli draws upon contemporary philosophy, psychology and theology to argue that austerity is built on the idea that we somehow deserve to be punished and need to experience guilt in order to take full account of our economic sins. Following thinkers such as Max Weber, Walter Benjamin and Michel Foucault, Debt and Guilt provides a startling examination of the relationship between contemporary politics and economics and how we structure our inner lives. The first English translation of Debito e Colpa, this book provokes new ways of thinking about how we experience both debt and guilt in contemporary society.
