Political Theology and the Conflicts of Democracy Reveals the role of conflict in religious and political thought, boldly arguing that creative disagreement can renew democratic politics. Nicholas Norman-Krause (Author) 9781009603843 (SKU 3293483), Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 3 April 2025 373 pages 22.3 x 14.6 x 2.5 cm, 0.602 kg 'Nicholas Norman-Krause accomplishes something that I previously thought unlikely: placing agonistic political theory and political theology into mutually productive conversation. Norman-Krause ushers in an assembly of characters – Augustine and Arendt, O'Donovan and Cavell, MacIntyre and Mouffe, Althusius and Isasi-Díaz – that rarely occupy the same intellectual stage. The introduction of so many theological and social-theoretical strands could have led to a general incoherence of the project, but here the reverse is true. This book is both impressively coherent and copious in its inclusion of so many (seemingly) rival traditions. Political Augustinians will benefit greatly from the frisson that the agonists provide. And I also think that more secular agonist strands of political theory will benefit from Norman-Krause's charitable reading of the theological tradition as well. Considering that one of his main goals is to show how good conflict and good disagreement can be politically beneficial, this is an exemplary accomplishment.'
