A Political Theology of Vulnerability (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789004543263)

Vulnerability is at the core of the political drama of our time. Countering conventional approaches, this book presents human vulnerability as a source of political community and a potential for political agency in precarity. Analyzing Christian celebrations of Christmas and Easter in contexts of struggle, it shows how religious resources inspire precarious politics. Combining critical political theory, liberation theology, and lived religion, Sturla J. St虱sett sees in such celebrations a 'political sacralization' of vulnerability and a 'dispossession of divinity.'
