Political Theology II is Carl Schmitt's last book. Part polemic,
part self-vindication for his involvement in the National Socialist
German Workers' Party (NSDAP), this is Schmitt's most theological
reflection on Christianity and its concept of sovereignty following
the Second Vatican Council. At a time of increasing visibility of
religion in public debates and a realization that Schmitt is the
major and most controversial political theorist of the twentieth
century, this last book sets a new agenda for political theology
today. The crisis at the beginning of the twenty-first century led
to an increased interest in the study of crises in an age of
extremes - an age upon which Carl Schmitt left his indelible
watermark. In "Political Theology II," first published in 1970, a
long journey comes to an end which began in 1923 with "Political
Theology." This translation makes available for the first time to
the English-speaking world Schmitt's understanding of Political
Theology and what it implies theologically and politically.
