What is Theology and Social Theory: Beyond Secular Reason (Political Profiles) about?

This is a revised edition of John Milbank’s masterpiece, which sketches the outline of a specifically theological social theory. * The __Times Higher Education Supplement__ wrote of the first edition that it was “a tour de force of systematic theology. It would be churlish not to acknowledge its provocation and brilliance”. * Brings this classic work up-to-date by reviewing the development of modern social thought. * Features a substantial new introduction by Milbank, clarifying the theoretical basis for his work. * Challenges the notion that sociological critiques of theology are ‘scientific’. * Outlines a specifically theological social theory, and in doing so, engages with a wide range of thinkers from Plato to Deleuze. * Written by one of the world’s most influential contemporary theologians and the author of numerous books.
