For theorists in search of a political theology that is more responsive to the challenges now facing Western democracies, this book tenders a new political economy anchored in a theory of value. The political theology of the future, Carl Raschke argues, must draw on a powerful, hidden impetus—the "force of God"—to frame a new value economy. It must also embrace a radical, "faith-based" revolutionary style of theory that reconceives the power of the "theological" in political thought and action.
Tenders a new political economy anchored in a theory of value
Philip Goodchild, University of Nottingham:Carl Raschke's contribution to political theology offers a sustained and profound genealogy of the conceptual forces that constitute our era. Based on extensive scholarship that discloses obscured insights from the tradition of radical Continental philosophy, he illuminates and challenges the forces of religion, economy, and politics in our time. This is a deep theoretical treatise on our present and future troubles.
Mike Grimshaw, University of Canterbury, New Zealand:Force of God is a manifesto of searing personal vision with the rhetoric to match.
Victor E. Taylor, York College of Pennsylvania:Carl Raschke both acutely examines key thinkers and thoroughly, deeply develops the historical and theoretical contexts for their respective theories. Force of God, with its depth of engagement, will change the ongoing conversation around the relationship of political theology and subjectivity to past, present, and future articulations of 'democracy.'
