Political Theology Reimagined: A Roundtable Discussion

The roundtable brings together a diverse range of scholars to reflect on contemporary political theology in light of a new field-shifting edited volume, Political Theology Reimagined (Duke University Press, 2025). Political Theology Reimagined centers decolonial, Black, queer, feminist, and Marxist modes of critical practice to offer a new, cutting-edge vision of the field that expansively rethinks what political theology means today, and where it is headed tomorrow. Traversing diverse sites, from South Asia to the Middle East to Indigenous North America, and working across diverse scales, from the national to the planetary to the cosmic, this volume help make visible the field’s emerging new identity. Reflecting the rich diversity and interdisciplinarity of the field, contributors to the volumes, like participants of the roundtable, include scholars of literature and philosophy, political theory and anthropology, religious studies and theology. Short remarks by participants followed by a communal discussion with the audience.
