John Milbank si sforza di resistere alla nozione che le comprensioni secolari debbano definire l'agenda della teologia. Egli promuove invece il cristianesimo come un'esposizione ricca e vitale dell'intera realtà. Il suo lavoro approfondisce l'intersezione tra teologia, teoria sociale ed etica, esplorando come la fede plasmi la nostra comprensione del mondo. L'approccio di Milbank sfida i lettori a riconsiderare la profonda relazione tra religione e società.
Beyond Secular Order is the first of a two-volume work that expands upon renowned theologian John Milbank s innovative attempt to understand both theology and modern thought begun in his previously published classic text Theology and Social Theory.
Focusing on the intersection of theology and social theory, this revised edition presents John Milbank's influential ideas that challenge conventional social thought.

Exploring the relationship between the physical and spiritual realms, the book delves into the profound connection between humanity and the cosmos.

When the Radical Reformers demanded the separation of church and state, it was not to privatize their convictions or depoliticize the church, but rather an attempt to recognize Jesus as Lord over all. The theological movement known as Radical Orthodoxy is currently rethinking theology's influence by secular modernity, thereby making a bold critique of contemporary Christianity. It should not be surprising that Anabaptist theologians have found theological kinship with Radical Orthodoxy. Taking their cues from John Howard Yoder, Henri de Lubac, Jacques Derrida, Stanley Cavell, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Stanley Hauerwas, and others, writers in this volume engage Radical Orthodoxy on topics such as ecclesiology, martyrdom, worship, oath-taking, peace and violence.

Od początku nowożytności teologia musiała bronić się przed kolejnymi oskarżeniami ze strony świeckiego rozumu. Swojej prawomocności wiara musiała jednak dowodzić w konfrontacji z rzekomo neutralną światopoglądowo ideą racjonalności, do której ugruntowania przyczyniły się nauki społeczne. Co jednak, gdy okaże się, że sekularny rozum sam uwikłany jest w teologiczne założenia, których nie potrafi skutecznie dowieść? A co gorsza, gdy wraz z fałszywymi ideami prowadzi nieuchronnie do konfliktów, których nie potrafi samodzielnie zażegnać ze względu na swoje zakorzenienie w ontologii przemocy? Z tymi wyzwaniami konfrontuje się Milbank w tym tomie, w którym ukazuje trzecią drogę dla teologii: inną, niż zgoda na ataki ze strony nauk społecznych i próby formułowania obrony pod dyktando świeckich idei neutralności.
