    Index

    Additional Info
    Princeton’s Mark Lewis Taylor has always worked at the intersection of the political and theological. Now, in this intense and exciting work, he explores in a systematic way how those two dimensions of human reality can be conceived anew and together.

    Taylor argues that the decline of political discourse, the justification of torture and preemptive war, mass incarceration, the misuse of religion to justify atrocity, and most especially the sheer weight of suffering in the world-all these developments urge us to reconceive theology itself.

    In conjunction with the latest insights of political theory, decolonial thought, and spectral theories in contemporary philosophy, Taylor suggests that the political is the context of the theological and a realm in which we can discern, beyond simple categories of transcendence and immanence, a transimmanence that is theologically illuminative and politically liberating.

  • Prayers Potential : Gods Power Through Us Can Do Great Things More Than We

    $14.99

    Mark Taylor is just like anyone else who is struggling with the overwhelming trials of life; he has seen failure and has seen God’s blessings. Mark has walked the hard road; one he chose for himself. He finally took the turn at one of the crossroads in life that allowed Jesus to come in reconstruct his heart. The point of this book is to help and encourage people to pray and in some way to get prayer going in ones life. The answers to living in this world are by being in contact with God, the Author and the Creator of the universe and you. There are only two basic functions you need to do: one is to pray and the other is to read the Bible. If you will do these two things day in and day out, not just when you have problems, the Father will make Himself real to you and you will be able to recognize Him. Your spiritual character will determine your prayer’s effectiveness.

    Epilogue: Christian Faith And Counter Imperial Practice

    Additional Info
    Princeton theologian Mark Taylor analyzes right-wing Christian movements in the United States amid the powers of religion, politics, empire, and corporate classes in post-9/11 USA.

    The real gift of Taylor’s book is his argument that this militant Christian faith must be viewed against a backdrop of the American political romanticism and corporatist liberalism of U.S. past and present. Taylor uses the best of cultural and historical studies, while deftly drawing lessons for American readers from theologian Paul Tillich’s analysis of power and religion during the rise of fascism and nationalism in Germany of the 1930s.

    The result is an innovative framework for interpreting how Christian nationalists, Pentagon war planners and corporate institutions today are forging alliances in the U.S. that have dramatic and destructive global impact. Moving beyond lament, Taylor also leaves readers with a new romance of revolutionary traditions and a new more radical liberalism, revitalizing American visions of spirit that are both prophetic and public for U.S. residents today.
