Religion, Politics and the New Materialism

This volume addresses the critical role of religion in the world today, and how it is caught up in the transition from modern liberalism to postmodern neoliberalism. It explores how religion is always implicated in political formations, as well as how contemporary politics has religious influences and effects. The interconnection between religion and politics is informed by the philosophy of new materialism and set within a planetary context that acknowledges the human role in climate change.
