Announcing Political Theology 16.4

The July 2015 issue of our journal, Political Theology, is now online. This exciting issue includes not only a book discussion among leading Jewish scholars of Judith Butler’s Parting Ways (shorter versions of some of these articles previously appeared here on the blog), but also three full-length articles on a variety of challenging contemporary issues. A particularly interesting and important slate of book reviews appears in this issue, as does Graeme Smith’s fond remembrance of the late former editor of the journal, Rev. Dr. Timothy Simpson (this too appeared previously at the blog).

Erin Runions’s guest editorial on issues of reproductive ethics (penned before the recent controversy over the Planned Parenthood videos) will appear here on the blog tomorrow.
