Reviews

The decolonial moment has underlined the importance of western theologians hearing what non-western readers hear in their canonical texts. Pung Ryong Kim insightfully draws out what is lost from when contemporary readers marry Augustine to democratic liberal politics, betraying the radicality of his own politics and depriving Christians of the resources needed to think beyond the tired ruts of partisan politics. This volume is essential reading for political theologians in times which the political lives of western democracies are so starkly dysfunctional in their inability to transcend what divides them. -- Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen
