deeply impressive - this is scholarship of the highest order * Chris Brown, Millennium * a clear and insightful treatment of the intersections of theology and international relations that raises important questions for theologians and international relations theorists alike. * Matthew A. Shadle, Modern Theology * In this masterful work, William Bain demolishes many of the myths that still underlie the discipline and history of international relations...Political Theology of International Order is a work of rare depth and texture, which has the undoubted merit of challenging many of the most widespread political mythologies. * Antonio Cerella, Contemporary Political Theory * Bain has achieved great success. The book offers a thorough and definitive rethinking of conventional narratives about the secular character of modern international order by showing how they fail to acknowledge their continued theological contingency and ultimate Eurocentricity...the depth of detail in which the historical rethinking of internatipronal order is conducted, combined with the breadth of intellectual history covered, suggests that this book will reward reading and rereading by scholars of international order for many years to come. * Aaron McKeil, Ethics and International Affairs * an excellent recovery of historical theology as fundamental to modern international theory * Robert J. Joustra, The Review of Faith & International Affairs * To sum up, Bain has written an accessible and potentially game-changing book that seeks to build bridges where there are currently only impassable chasms. Political Theology International Order is precisely the kind of text I would - and someday will - use toward the end of my undergraduate course in Medieval Political Thought...I recommend it...without reservation to all who are interested in - and interested in teaching about - the medieval roots of the modern world order. * Andrew Latham, Macalester College, Cambridge Review of International Affairs * deeply impressive - this is scholarship of the highest order * Chris Brown, Millennium * a clear and insightful treatment of the intersections of theology and international relations that raises important questions for theologians and international relations theorists alike. * Matthew A.
