Christian Platonism, Transvalued
Anselm's Proslogion developed its famous argument through meditation on a single formula: ‘Now we believe that You are something than which nothing greater can be thought’. This article aims to re‐enact such a meditation under changed conditions, bringing out a different sense of metaphysical dependence. That which cannot be thought without existing can now be located in (a) what really matters, (b) what is truly sincere, and (c) what is ultimate…

Economic Theology
In Economic Theology, Goodchild offers a philosophical analysis of the contemporary economy in terms of the way it structures credit and faith. The Great Financial Crisis of 2007 and onwards has exposed the extent to which the economy functions as a network of credits and debts. Credit and debt may now be understood as the driving force of economic behaviour. In this analysis, economic theories of markets and money are also ways of ordering trust…
Culture and Machine
What is the relation between the economic and theological realms?"None at all," says a certain strand of received wisdom.Such received wisdom is rooted in the Enlightenment project of the conquest of nature.Starting from the assumption that human physiology has determinate needs, and human labour has relatively uniform productive capacities, a certain 'economic nature' consisting in the production, distribution and consumption of goods and servic…
Political Myth
In this provocative and necessary work, Roland Boer, a leading biblical scholar and cultural theorist, develops a political myth for the Left: a powerful narrative to be harnessed in support of progressive policy. Boer focuses on foundational stories in the Hexateuch, the first six books of the Bible, from Genesis through Joshua. He contends that the "primal story" that runs from Creation, through the Exodus, and to the Promised Land is a complex…
Freedom Not Yet
The neoliberal project in the West has created an increasingly polarized and impoverished world, to the point that the vast majority of its citizens require liberation from their present socioeconomic circumstances. The marxist theorist Kenneth Surin contends that innovation and change at the level of the political must occur in order to achieve this liberation, and for this endeavor marxist theory and philosophy are indispensable. In Freedom Not…
Rethinking Philosophy of Religion
“Philosophy of religion,” in recent decades, has been the study of the rationality, coherence, and truth-claims of classical theism. Yet philosophical reflection on religion has included much more than this: it has been the creative construction of a religious philosophy; it has critically examined claims for religious authority and certainty; it has explored the principles underlying religious thought and life; it has exposed domination, decepti…

Limits to Globalisation and the Loss of Faith
The contemporary rise of populism may be explained as a product of the process of globalisation against which it reacts. For globalisation rests upon a faith in the future, and limits to globalisation necessitate a change in faith. It is proposed that the nature of this faith in the future can be illuminated by the dynamics of a credit crisis, such as the Great Financial Crisis of 2007–8.

Debt, finance and social justice
Debt plays a central role in shaping contemporary social and economic life, whether in austerity policies pursued by governments, in households financing their acquisition of homes as well as their daily spending, in students paying for their studies, or for those who struggle to meet their basic commitments who turn to payday lenders. Debt also plays a central role in financing private enterprise, and in the financial sector itself. Debt carries…
Creation, Sin, and Debt
The Cambridge Companion to Christian Political Theology
Interest in political theology has surged in recent years, and this accessible volume provides a focused overview of the field. Many are asking serious questions about religious faith in secular societies, the origin and function of democratic polities, worldwide economic challenges, the shift of Christianity's center of gravity to the global south, and anxieties related to bold and even violent assertions of theologically determined political id…

What if self-questioning could provoke an extreme attentiveness to a rich inner life? In pursuit of this question, a mixed group of highly fallible thinkers gather together in the north of England. Wi
Response to Capitalism and Christianity, American Style, by William Connolly
This article explores the significance of resonance as a mode of social causality in response to William Connolly's book, Capitalism and Christianity, American Style. While applauding Connolly's identification of "affinities of spirituality" as effective in forming American politics, it suggests that the character structure of ressentiment that is encountered in right-wing Christianity and politics may be the result of instability. Examining the …
The Shadow Side of Debt
This essay review of Margaret Atwood's Payback shows how the book's accomplishment is to provide a Jungian analysis of the "shadow" of wealth: the primitive meanings attached to debt deriving from ancient cultural configurations of a proper balance in the order of things. Debt is conceived in terms of social obligations, of guilt and sin, of revenge, and as a plot that structures the narrative of human life. Instead of simply looking to the archa…

(Deleuze, 1997: 4) The work of Pierre Hadot has re-established an approach to philosophy as a way of life, a set of spiritual exercises (Hadot 1995, 2002).

Theology of Money
Theology of Money is a philosophical inquiry into the nature and role of money in the contemporary world. Philip Goodchild reveals the significance of money as a dynamic social force by arguing that under its influence, moral evaluation is subordinated to economic valuation, which is essentially abstract and anarchic. His rigorous inquiry opens into a complex analysis of political economy, encompassing markets and capital, banks and the state, cl…
Debt, Epistemology and Ecotheology
The roots of the contemporary ecological crisis demand theological re-description: economic globalisation, driven by debt, is founded on a poor epistemology constructed around a theology of money. Modern and postmodern epistemologies with a humanistic frame of reference, as well as more traditional epistemologies with a naturalistic frame of reference, are inadequate to address the contemporary predicament as well as restrictive in the space they…
Capitalism and Religion
Our global ecological crisis demands that we question the rationality of the culture that has caused it: western modernity's free market capitalism. Philip Goodchild develops arguments from Nietzsche, Adorno, Horkheimer, and Marx, to suggest that our love of Western modernity is an expression of a piety in which capitalism becomes a global religion, in practice, if not always in belief. This book presents a philosophical alternative that demands …

Job as Apologetic
A key to interpreting the Book of Job, following from the general methodology for the human sciences set out by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, is to regard the field in which the text is embedded as the beliefs of its audience rather than its explicit content of story and characters. Bourdieu has shown the extent to which belief and practice involve elements of uncertainty and strategy, allowing inconsistencies to be interpreted as rheto…
Orientalism and Religion
We study the set of no-signalling empirical models on a measurement scenario, and show that the combinatorial structure of the no-signalling polytope is completely determined by the possibilistic information given by the support of the models. This is a special case of a general result which applies to all polytopes presented in a standard form, given by linear equations together with non-negativity constraints on the variables
Speech and Silence in the Mumonkan
One of the most widespread problems found in the academic study of Buddhism is that of the explication of its fundamental insights or essence. While there are well-established methods for the study of the more objective aspects of the religion, such as its history, texts, practices, and doctrines, these point beyond themselves, by means of words such as nirvana, sunyata, or satori, to some indefinable area of experience which is itself resistant …
