  • Political theology or public theology is a branch of both political philosophy and theology that investigates the ways in which theological concepts or ways of thinking underlie political, social, economic and cultural discourses. The same term has been used in a wide variety of ways by writers exploring different aspects of the subject, with tension developing between those advocating a traditional concern with individual "moral reform", such as Clyde Wilcox's God's Warriors (1992) and Ted Jelen's The Political World of the Clergy (1993), and those on the left who focus on collective "social justice" e.g. Jeffrey K. Hadden's The Gathering Storm in the Churches (1969) and Harold Quinley's The Prophetic Clergy (1974). Writing amidst the turbulence of the German Weimar Republic Carl Schmitt, in Political Theology, argued that the central concepts of modern politics were secularized versions of older theological concepts. Drawing on Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan he argued that the state exists to maintain its own integrity in order to ensure order in society in times of crisis. The journal Political Theology currently examines this interface of religious faith and politics. The Catholic theologian Johann Baptist Metz explored the concept of political theology throughout his work. He argued for the concept of a 'suffering God' who shared the pain of his creation, writing, "Yet, faced with conditions in God's creation that cry out to heaven, how can the theology of the creator God avoid the suspicion of apathy unless it takes up the language of a suffering God?" In the Blackwell Companion to Political Theology, over 30 writers attempt to argue that Christian theology is relevant to modern issues such as feminism and ecology.
  • Politische Theologie ist ein in der Geschichte in verschiedener Weise benutzter Begriff. Er steht einerseits für bestimmte religiös motivierte Staatsverständnisse, zum anderen für herrschafts- und gesellschaftskritische „linke“ Theologie, sowie vermittelnde oder darüber hinaus gehende Positionen.
  • La théologie politique se situe au point de rencontre entre philosophie politique et théologie chrétienne, et se penche en particulier sur la manière dont des concepts et des modes de pensée théologiques peuvent impliquer, justifier ou éclairer des analyses ou des engagements politiques, sociaux, économiques ou leur être sous-jacents. Ce même terme a été utilisé en des sens et au sein de questionnements assez divers suivant les époques et les auteurs.
  • Teologia política é um ramo da filosofia política e da teologia que investiga os meios nos quais os conceitos teológicos ou os pensamentos dos discursos influenciam a política, a sociedade, a economia e a cultura. O mesmo termo foi usado de maneira muito variável por escritores, explorando diferentes aspectos da subjetividade, com desenvolvimento tento entre aqueles defendendo a tradicional preocupação com a "reforma moral" individual, como God's Warrios, de Clyde Wilcox, e The Political World of the Clergy, de Ted Jelen, e aqueles da esquerda que se focaram na "justiça social" coletiva, como The Gathering Storm in the Churches, de Jeffrey K. Hadden,e The Prophetic Clergy de Harold Quinley. Escrevendo entre aturbulência da Guerra da República de Weimar, Carl Schmitt, em Teologia política, argumentou que os conceitos centrais da política moderna são versões secularizadas dos antigos conceitos teológicos. Baseando-se em Thomas Hobbes em Leviatã ele argumentou que o Estado existe para manter sua própria integridade para assegurar a ordem da sociedade em tempos de crise. O livro Teologia política correntemente examina a conexão entre fé religiosa e política. O teólogo católico Johann Baptist Metz explora o conceito de teologia política ao longe de sua obra. Ele argumenta que o conceito de "Deus sofrendo" que divide a dor da sua criação, escreve, "Ainda, encarado com as condições da criação de Deus que clamam para o céu, como pode o teólogo do Deus criador evitar que a suspeita da indiferença, ao menos que ele compreenda a língua do sofrimento de Deus?".
