Despite the critiques of Christianity, religion, and secularity, providential narratives continue to shape influential ways of dividing time and history, mediating between experience and expectation in movements from promise to fulfillment. In response to the persistent theological influences within ostensibly secular frameworks, Postsecular History offers a revised concept of periodization by tracing the powerful efforts to divide time into the past, present, and future. It also critically examines historical partitions between the Reformation and Enlightenment. Through six chapters, Postsecular History explores how relations of possession, novelty, freedom, and instrumentality implied in the prefix 'post' are reproduced in postsecular discourses and the field of political theology. This thought-provoking exploration challenges readers to reconsider the political implications of our understanding of time and history and encourages a deeper exploration of the complex relationships between religion, politics, and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 469g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030857578\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maxwell Kennel","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103194542330,"sku":"9783030857578","price":91.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646266578785_book.jpg?v=1646935485","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/postsecular-history-political-theology-and-the-politics-of-time-9783030857578","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
