We live in hyper-partisan times with dire consequences to the breakdown in public trust and concomitant political dysfunction and social dislocation we face. Meanwhile serious theological inquiry has been increasingly relegated either as a relic of the past or an inaccessible realm reserved for academic and religious specialists. Does contemporary theology have anything to offer to our current situation of political turmoil? Can it help us understand different modes of political protest, different claims to moral authority, different rationales for resistance and protest? This book answers these questions with a resounding YES. And in so doing, not only shows what can be learned from well-known historical figures and standard teachings and theories, but also and most interestingly, navigates the thickets surrounding the difficult questions about our present forms of political order, power, and mobilization.
