"""Order, Crisis, and Redemption uses an original and scholarly reevaluation of Carl Schmitt's political theology as a springboard for addressing key political issues of the day, such as climate change and the Anthropocene, Neoliberalism, populism, and the decline of the nation-state as a viable political structure for taking humanity into the foreseeable future. It also engages, in a masterful and enlightening fashion, with commentaries on Schmitt (Agamben, Böckenforde). Particularly insightful is the way the work invokes Schmitt's catholic background and catholic theology as a way of clarifying the rationale for Schmitt's approach to a range of issues, but especially the notions of sovereignty and democracy.""—John Lechte, author of The Human: Bare Life and Ways of Life"
