Charles Taylors immanent frame cannot be construed merely as a phenomenon within religion and culture but urgently needs to be understood in political and economic termsi.e., as a class project. The failure of the secular, vividly displayed in the crumbling legitimacy of global institutions and in the spectacle of police violence, both calls for and makes possible a renewal of political agency. Tom James and David True argue that a theology of the cross has a distinctive potential today: it can pierce the sacred aura of normalcy around the consensual anti-politics of the neoliberal order so that a vision of a world beyond todays racialized capitalism can emerge. But they contend that we dont need to forsake the emancipatory aims of modernity nor retreat to local communities. As an alternative to these weak strategies, they offer a constructive and cruciform account of political agency that includes both prophetic resistance and practical wisdom, each embedded in contemporary struggles for freedom that, they argue, embody divine desire for a common world. Tom James is a pastor in Toledo, Ohio. He is the author of In Face of Reality: The Constructive Theology of Gordon D. Kaufman (2014) and co-author of A Philosophy of Christian Materialism (2015). David True is a visiting scholar at Pfeiffer University and is co-editor of the journal Political Theology. He is the co-editor of Paradoxical Virtue: Reinhold Niebuhr and the Virtue Tradition (2020) and the editor of Prophecy in a Secular Age: An Introduction (2021). . 001484439 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 14, 2023). 001484439 650_6 $$aThéologie politique. 001484439 650_6 $$aTranscendance de Dieu. 001484439 650_0 $$aPolitical theology.$$0(DLC)sh 98008125 001484439 650_0 $$aTranscendence of God. 001484439 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001484439 7001_ $$aTrue, David,$$eauthor. 001484439 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031462262$$z9783031462269$$w(OCoLC)1396789482 001484439 830_0 $$aNew approaches to religion and power. 001484439 852__ $$bebk 001484439 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-46227-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001484439 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1484439$$pGLOBAL_SET 001484439 980__ $$aBIB 001484439 980__ $$aEBOOK 001484439 982__ $$aEbook 001484439 983__ $$aOnline 001484439 994__ $$a92$$bISE
