Description
The Problem with Grace by Vincent Lloyd explores a new direction in post-secular, post-sectarian political theology. By investigating religious concepts such as love, faith, liturgy, and revelation, Lloyd examines their political relevance outside of their Christian theological context.
Through an unusual canon of thinkers, including Simone Weil, James Baldwin, Franz Kafka, and Gillian Roseto, Lloyd delves into the intersection of theology and politics. This approach deepens our understanding of political theological vocabulary as a way to engage with everyday life.
The book challenges traditional notions of redemption in politics, instead focusing on grappling with the complexities, tragedies, and comedies of ordinary life.
