Are there any norms intrinsic to Christian belief that dictate its political import?Delving into the complex aspects of Christian beliefs in their historical, theological, and social diversity, Tanner here offers a rigorous and sustained analysis of the relations of belief to attitudes and action. She centers her analysis on God and Creation and brings a much-needed clarity to notions of hierarchy, transcendence, dualism, and oppression. She constructs a typology of how doctrines can relate to each other, to social systems, and to ethical behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn arguing that Christian beliefs about God and the world can be disengaged from complicity with social forces of reaction and oppression, Tanner discloses the radical potential of Christian beliefs and realigns them with efforts to bring about a just society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathryn Tanner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.54w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800626136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTanner, Kathryn:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathryn Tanner\u003c\/b\u003e is Dorothy Grant Maclear Professor of Theology at the Divinity School, University of Chicago, and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of God\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), \u003ci\u003eTheories of Culture\u003c\/i\u003e (1997), and \u003ci\u003eJesus, Humanity, and the Trinity\u003c\/i\u003e (2001), all from Fortress Press. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fortress Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40133718147187,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_eee18ccc-d341-447d-916f-9c37fb83716d.jpg?v=1654176436","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-politics-of-god-9780800626136","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
