In Saul Newman's book, the concepts of political theology and secularization illuminate each other, opening an original perspective on contemporary reality. Rather than opposites, they form a single problematic figure revolving around the enigma of sovereignty. From Marx to Schmitt, from Loewith to Blumenberg, from Habermas to Derrida - the entirety of contemporary philosophy is originally reinterpreted through the political-theological paradigm. Roberto Esposito This is an innovative look at a subject we all thought that we understood already (but we didn't). Newman makes a bold and original pitch to show how we turn our back on the theological at our peril. James Martel, San Francisco State University
