Reviews
James K. A. Smith’s series on cultural liturgy, which spanned approximately ten years, has come to an end with *Waiting for the King*. In this book as well, true to his nature as a radical orthodoxy, Smith grounds his thought in patristic theology while simultaneously engaging in dialogue by traversing diverse intellectual currents in all directions. The core of James Smith’s political theology, as presented in *Waiting for the King*, lies in tradition and balance. Until now, political theology
This book by James Smith is a political theology of tradition and balance. His political theology is a new political theology constructed through liturgy between seclusion and the secular, between Christendom and political excess, and between the present and the eschatological tension by thinking of the Church Father Augustine.
James Smith: Waiting for the King
This book, marking the conclusion of the Cultural Liturgy series, offers a multifaceted public theology as an alternative to contemporary debates on politics. Smith explores the religious nature of politics and the political nature of Christian worship, illustrating how the worship of the church leads us toward building the common good. Harmonizing clear and witty prose with serious theological and philosophical reflection, it presents a public theology of the Kingdom of God oriented toward Shalom.
