Political theology as we know it today reacts against the attempt
to insulate theology from political theory which has generally
characterised the modern era. But its own intellectual parentage in
the idealist historicism of the nineteenth century has left it
still entrammelled in the suspicions and inhibitions from which it
has wanted to break free. Oliver O'Donovan contends that to pass
beyond suspicion and totalised criticism of politics and to achieve
a positive reconstruction of political thought, theology must reach
back behind the modern tradition, achieving a fuller, less
selective reading of the Scriptures and learning from an older
politico-theological discourse which flourished in the patristic,
medieval and Reformation periods. Central to that discourse was a
series of questions about authority, generated by Jesus'
proclamation of the Kingdom of God. This book, now published in
paperback, makes an important contribution to contemporary
political theology and Christian ethics.
