Synopsis :

This volume explores the political character of premodern and modern readings of scripture with attention to how these relate to or address political challenges in social and historical contexts. Essays here also offer constructive models of reading scripture that can inform the contemporary task of political scriptural interpretation. From the earliest Christian centuries to the present day, this volume considers the close coordination between scripture, theology, and social and political concerns, providing a robust survey of Christian theopolitical scripture interpretation.

À propos de l'auteur: Matthew A. Tapie teaches Christian ethics and Catholic social teaching at Georgetown University, Washington, DC. Daniel Wade McClain is the director of program operations for graduate theological studies at Loyola University Maryland, and a former president of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the American Academy of Religion.
