This volume, full of precise, incisive, and deeply researched scholarship, situates the problematic of political theology within a series of questions that emerge within German Idealist philosophy, from Kant to Marx. This is an original and necessary contribution to the growing field of political theology. As evinced in this volume, German Idealism and its intellectual heirs in critical theory, Marxism, and cultural theory are an important, perhaps even necessary place to ground the contemporary critiques of the global capitalist order of racial, gendered, and biopolitical oppression.---Joshua Ramey, Haverford College

Did German Idealism introduce the death of God and disclose the space-time of radical immanence, or is it rather the pivotal moment for the development of political theology in late modernity? This exciting collection of essays offers new insights into this perplexing question for both philosophy and theology.---Miguel Vatter, Flinders University
