Description
Liturgical Power Between Economic and Political Theology by Nicholas Heron explores an alternative perspective on the relationship between Christianity and politics. Heron argues that Christian anti-politics is not about separating religion from politics, but rather about its own distinct conception of governance.
The book seeks to understand how Christianity has shaped our current understanding of government, particularly in relation to the concept of "administration" or "economics." Heron contends that this transformation in the idea of politics is rooted in liturgy, or public service, and positions it as a technique of governance. This unique approach to power is grounded in service rather than coercion.
By examining the relationship between Christianity and politics, Liturgical Power offers a fresh perspective on how our understanding of government has evolved over time. This book provides insight into the paradoxical technology of power that Christianity has bequeathed to political thought and forms.
