The Palgrave Handbook of Radical Theology is the definitive guide to radical theology and the commencement for new directions in that field. For the first time, radical theology is addressed and assessed in a single, comprehensive volume, including introductory and historical essays for the beginner, essays on major figures and their thought, and shorter articles on various themes, concepts, and related topics. This book is a seminal work for the radical theology movement. It clarifies origins and demonstrates the exigency and utility of current figures and issues. A useful and essential guide for newcomers and veterans in the field, this volume serves as both a reference work and an introduction to omitted or forgotten topics within contemporary discussions.
"This is a fine volume, covering a large breadth of figures and topics essential to the discipline. Students and libraries will gain something that is both well constructed and academically significant." (Taylor Weaver, Modern Believing, Vol. 61 (2), April, 2020)
"The book is an invaluable resource for anyone in need of a quick grasp of the scope of the movement, its historical development, its historical roots, the range of arguments it is carrying forward, and the dialogues that are being conducted across disciplines and sub-disciplines. ? there is no better source to get acquainted with its many voices than The Palgrave Handbook under consideration in this review. Given its breadth and scope, it comes highly recommended!" (Josh de Keijzer, Cultural Encounters, Vol. 15 (2), 2020)
"The book is interdisciplinary in addressing art, philosophy, literature, music, psychology, politics, and the social sciences in dialogue with theology. ? This book further urges the theologians and readers of religion today within our relations, our world, our sexuality, and our thought to carry the fire onward, speak new radical theological perspectives, and once again, assert to the body politic that theology is, after all, important."
