Political Theology’s Statement of Aims

The purpose of the journal is to foster scholarship in the area of political theology. Political Theology investigates the connections between religious and political ideas and practices.

It reflects the diversity of religious and theological engagements with public and political life. The aims of the journal are to:

• Examine the explicit or implicit religious background to political movements, ideas, and practices

• Examine the political implications of religious movements, ideas, and practices

• Interrogate the way power operates at the intersection of religion and politics

• Reflect on the tradition of political theology in a global context, including voices from marginalized communities and a variety of religious traditions.
