"""With historical nuance, theological fidelity, and homiletical grace, Elizabeth Phillips makes an indelible contribution to the political theology of apocalypse. Apocalyptic Theopolitics ranges from Augustine to Afro-pessimism and from Lent to All Hallows Eve, teaching the crucial emancipation, in the face of oppression and catastrophe, of hope from optimism."" --Catherine Keller, Drew University ""Elizabeth Phillips is one of the English-speaking world's wisest guides through the thickets of political theology. Employing both essays and sermons, expertly ranging across Augustine and Anabaptism, Christian Zionism and Flannery O'Connor, this volume illustrates how eschatology, properly understood and practiced, is not a fringe concern but is at the heart of Christian political witness. Clear, insightful, interdisciplinary, and always attentive to lived Christian practice, this book is a joy to read."" --William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul University"
