Christopher A. Haw

Monotheism, Intolerance, and the Path to Pluralistic Politics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Creatively combines political theory, evolutionary theory, history, and theology in favor of an agonistic pluralism. The book offers a nuanced understanding of the biblical tradition's emergence and its political consequences with respect to violence to suggest how we can mediate between exclusive monotheism and critiques of intolerance.
