We invite papers to address any of the following questions, which relate to this year's conference theme. 1) What difference does mystical-political theology make to how Christian theologians interpret the enactment of economics, culture and religion in a globalized world? For example, must we ask who suffers in a globalized economy and how their memory interrupts cultural amnesia? 2) How does mystical-political theology critique dominant forms of globalization? 3) How does mystical-political theology suggest that Christians respond to the concrete material conditions of suffering in a globalized world?
We will give priority to those papers that not only utilize primary sources of political theology, but that construct a political theology that is responsive to North American reality. Our goal is to propose an edited collection for publication.
