“Crockett, Das, and Pratihar have generated a work of extraordinary contemporary interest and cross-disciplinary attractiveness. Religion, Politics, and the New Materialism offers no mere hope of a fleeting relevance that its timeliness will signal to its potential reading public, but the materialization of a longer term and at the same time extraordinarily fresh subject matter. The chapters are scintillating but not obscure in their transdisciplinary liveliness. Together they offer an approach that an ethically concerned theory should follow more often: they convey their indispensable economic/political/ecological practicality with an alluring creativity.” (Catherine Keller, George T. Cobb Professor of Constructive Theology, Drew University)---------------------------- “Religion, Politics and New Materialism: Philosophical Perspectives is a vital and timely collection of essays. The fragile truce among liberalism, capitalism, religion, and the environment is crumbling. The essays here, drawing on the resources of New Materialism, Energy Humanities, and Political Theology, seek to understand the nature of the truce, its limits, and what future might be possible in its wake. Taken as a whole, this collection is a tour de force of contemporary scholarship, which accompanies the reader in an urgent engagement of political imagination.” (Brent Adkins, Professor of Philosophy, Roanoke College)
