The answer to this determines, to a great degree, theological engagement with and appropriations of political systems and theological accounts of political and social order. \u003cb\u003eTruth and Politics\u003c\/b\u003e tackles this crucial question through an analysis and comparison of the thought of two of the most important contemporary Catholic and Protestant theologians, Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) and John Milbank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Samuel Kucer here traces out the critical question of the relationship of theology and politics, particularly as it intersects with ecclesiology, through a focus on the issue of the theological relationship to socialism. In this, Kucer demonstrates the competing accounts in the theologies of Joseph Ratzinger and John Milbank, arguing that Ratzingers theology is oriented in such a way that it maintains a provisional openness with regard to political formsthat theology and politics, while interconnected, do not demand commitment to a singular form of political modelin contrast to Milbanks work, which subscribes to a particular pattern of church and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Samuel Kucer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800699963\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKucer, Peter Samuel:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Samuel Kucer is a member of the theology faculty at the Holy Apostles College \u0026amp; Seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut and serves the diocese of Norwich, Connecticut as resident priest at Immaculate Conception Basilica.
