Augustine - for all of his influence on Western culture and
politics - was hardly a liberal. Drawing from theology, feminist
theory, and political philosophy, Eric Gregory offers here a
liberal ethics of citizenship, one less susceptible to anti-liberal
critics because it is informed by the Augustinian tradition. The
result is a book that expands Augustinian imaginations for
liberalism and liberal imaginations for Augustinianism. From an
Augustinian point of view, Gregory argues, love and sin constrain
each other in ways that yield a distinctive vision of the limits
and possibilities of politics. "Politics and the Order of Love"
will provoke new conversations for those interested in Christian
ethics, moral psychology, and the role of religion in public life.

What global future would ensure hope, justice and peace to the
human mankind? In view of a fast evolving post-Covid world order,
this volume explores a novel Christian post-colonial approach to
global affairs. It examines the existing 'sociology of the powers'
theoretical scheme, the debate between Christian realism and
Christian pacifism, the method and practice of prophetic
witnessing, to elaborate a new Christian approach to statecraft and
futurology in terms of theory, methodology and ontology. This book:
* Uses the COVID-19 pandemic as the background to examine why and
how the pandemic has accelerated the US's decline, and to identify
the tacit game rules that contributed to the UK government's
mishandling of the pandemic; * Compares the political systems
between China and the West, and engages with selected theoretical
narratives from the Global South to envision an alternative 'shared
globalisation' project; * Argues why it is important for
post-colonial Christian individuals and communities to get involved
in this global discussion for a new world order of complex realist
interdependencies grounded on hope, social justice and peace. A
fresh take on global politics and international relations, this
volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of
political science, religious studies, peace studies, theology and
future studies.
Compromised worship has serious roots--and serious consequences.
The Israelites can vouch for that. Through an effort to have the
best of both worlds, they spent centuries attempting to worship
both Yahweh and the fertility god, Baal. With this misguided
concept of the true God and true worship, the Israelites' lives
became immersed in a conspiracy to maintain a love of God and a
love of everyday gods.In The Baal Conspiracy, author Al Truesdale
exposes the truth behind what this Baal conspiracy meant for the
Israelites: that God, in fact, cannot be denied or shared in any
form of worship. With solid biblical scholarship, Truesdale employs
historical fiction to explain and explore how Christians can
confront and defeat the Baal conspiracy in the Church and in daily
living.
What would it mean to imagine Islam as an immanent critique of the
West? Sayyid Ahmad Khan lived in a time of great tribulation for
Muslim India under British rule. By examining Khan's work as a
critical expression of modernity rooted in the Muslim experience of
it, Islam as Critique argues that Khan is essential to
understanding the problematics of modern Islam and its relationship
to the West. The book re-imagines Islam as an interpretive strategy
for investigating the modern condition, and as an engaged
alternative to mainstream Western thought. Using the life and work
of nineteenth-century Indian Muslim polymath Khan (1817-1898), it
identifies Muslims as a viable resource for both critical
intervention in important ethical debates of our times and as
legitimate participants in humanistic discourses that underpin a
just global order. Islam as Critique locates Khan within a broader
strain in modern Islamic thought that is neither a rejection of the
West, nor a wholesale acceptance of it. The author calls this
"Critical Islam". By bringing Khan's critical engagement with
modernity into conversation with similar critical analyses of the
modern by Reinhold Niebuhr, Hannah Arendt, and Alasdair MacIntyre,
the author shows how Islam can be read as critique.
