Doerksen, Paul G. (1960-...)
Paternoster theological monographs Beyond suspicion: Post-Christendom Protestant political theology in John Howard Yoder and Oliver O'Donovan Paul G. Doerksen - Great Britian Paternoster 2009 - 230tr. Paperback 23cm
The modern era includes a two-fold tradition of radical suspicion - the suspicion that politicians corrupt morality, and that politics is corrupted by theology. However, this view has been challenged in recent theological thought which seeks to move beyond this suspicion to recover a constructive role for political theologies of John Howard Yoder and Oliver O'Donovan. The present work shows how post-Christendom Protestant political theology has attempted to move beyond suspicion without putting forward some hidden attempt to reassert a contemporary version of Christendom.
