Finished reading: Migrations of the Holy by William T. Cavanaugh 📚
A disjointed book, to be sure: It felt like a collection of previously published essays, which means it didn’t quite cohere into a satisfying whole. BUT, with that caveat out of the way: I would still recommend it to anyone thinking through questions of political theology. Cavanaugh offers trenchant theological analysis of American political culture and the modern nation-state. Though I’m still fuzzy on what it might look like in concrete terms to complexify political space, I am convinced that Cavanaugh is barking up the right tree as it pertains to Christian political engagement.
