Civil Society, Civil Religion pioneers an essentially new genre of theology: a form of pure civil theology, on a systematic basis. It is an important and original book, in significant respects carrying forward the debate initiated by John Milbank's Theology and Social Theory, albeit in a very different way.
"The question of religion and civil society is becoming central for all critical discourse. Andrew Shanks' new book approaches it with a European breadth of seriousness." John Milbank, Peterhouse, Cambridge
"This book is written with wit, passion and clarity; not the least important thing about it is its thorough immersion in the wider European world of culture and politics. It should be read by anyone concerned for the future of a genuinely democratic politics in our society, as well as by anyone who still looks to religious language to offer a point of moral reference in times of violence." Rowan Williams, Bishop of Monmouth, Wales
