Beyond Secular Order is the first of a two-volume work
that expands upon renowned theologian John Milbank’s
innovative attempt to understand both theology and modern thought
begun in his previously published classic text Theology and
Social Theory.
* Continues Milbank’s innovative attempt to understand both
theology and modern thought begun in Theology and Social
Theory – considered a classic work in the development of
systematic theology
* Authored by one of the world’s most influential and
highly regarded contemporary theologians
* Draws on a sweep of ideas and thinkers to argue that modern
secularism is a form of Christian heresy that developed from the
Middle Ages and can only be overcome by a renewed account of
Christendom
* Shows how this heresy can be transformed into a richer blend of
religion, modernity and politics
* Reveals how there is a fundamental homology between modern
ideas about ontology and knowledge and modern ideas about political
action, expressed in both theory and practice

Sobre o autor
John Milbank is Professor of Religion, Politics and
Ethics at the University of Nottingham, where he also directs the
Centre of Theology and Philosophy. Considered one of the leading
contemporary theologians, Milbank first gained international
recognition with Theology and Social Theory (1990), which
laid the theoretical foundations for the movement which later
became known as Radical Orthodoxy. In recent years he has
collaborated on three books with Creston Davis and the
controversial philosopher Slavoj ?i?ek: Theology and the
Political: The New Debate (2005), The Monstrosity of Christ:
Paradox or Dialectic (2009), and Paul’s New Moment:
Continental Philosophy and the Future of Christian Theology
(2010).
