Annotation: Written by a team of international experts, this "Companion "provides the first comprehensive survey and interpretation of contemporary Christian political theology.

The "Companion" comprises 35 freshly commissioned essays that embody the best current thinking in the field. These essays:
explore the political aspects of Christian sources such as scripture and liturgy
consider the interface of theology with political ideologies, including the contribution of theology to feminist, ecological, black, and pacifist movements
assess the contribution of major political theologians and theological movements
indicate how central Christian doctrines such as the Trinity and atonement have politics embedded within them
show how theology impacts upon present-day political issues.

The contributors are drawn from various traditions of political theology, but all of them demonstrate that Christian theology is inherently political, and that politics is properly illuminated by Christian perspectives.
