Political Theology is a journal that investigates and examines religious and political issues. The journal is interdisciplinary, drawing on the disciplines of theology, religious studies, politics, philosophy, ethics, cultural studies, social theory and economics. As such, it aims to reflect the diversity of religious and theological engagements with public and political life. Articles are welcome from scholars, practioners and clergy that address religion and political life in all its variety. The journal has a review section which embraces reflections upon religion, theology, politcal theory, political biography, film and fiction.

The aims of the journal are to:
  • Deconstruct specific instances of political activity
  • Reflect upon the mechanisms of power in civil life
  • Examine the operation of alliances and coalitions, and the relationship betwen personal ambition and political vision
  • Analyse theological paradigms employed by those engaged with political disclosures
  • Explore power dynamics within and between nations
