A. Smith examines politics through the lens of liturgy. What if, he asks, citizens are not only thinkers or believers but also lovers? Smith explores how our analysis of political institutions would look different if we viewed them as incubators of love-shaping practices--not merely governing us but forming what we love. How would our political engagement change if we weren't simply looking for permission to express our "views" in the political sphere but actually hoped to shape the ethos of a nation, a state, or a municipality to foster a way of life that bends toward shalom? This book offers a well-rounded public theology as an alternative to contemporary debates about politics. Smith explores the religious nature of politics and the political nature of Christian worship, sketching how the worship of the church propels us to be invested in forging the common good. This book creatively merges theological and philosophical reflection with illustrations from film, novels, and music and includes helpful exposition and contemporary commentary on key figures in political theology Liturgics. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85077732 7920 Worship. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85148563 891 Christianity and politics. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85025283 4496 Public theology. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010000062 7918 Political theology. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh98008125 7919 Cultural liturgies ; v. 3. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2009129964 15705 ddc BK 0 0 ddc 0 0 NPTS NPTS BK 2023-03-27 Donated 0 261.7 SMI NPTS005172 2023-03-27 00:00:00 2023-03-27 BK
