This is a revised edition of John Milbank’s masterpiece,
which sketches the outline of a specifically theological social
theory.
* The Times Higher Education Supplement wrote of the first
edition that it was ’a tour de force of systematic theology.
It would be churlish not to acknowledge its provocation and
brilliance’.
* Featured in The Church Times ’100 Best Christian
Books’
* Brings this classic work up-to-date by reviewing the
development of modern social thought.
* Features a substantial new introduction by Milbank, clarifying
the theoretical basis for his work.
* Challenges the notion that sociological critiques of theology
are ’scientific’.
* Outlines a specifically theological social theory, and in doing
so, engages with a wide range of thinkers from Plato to
Deleuze.
* Written by one of the world’s most influential
contemporary theologians and the author of numerous books.
