Qualitative, quantitative, material, philosophical, and theological analyses draw upon social theory to show how (and why) religion matters deeply in each time and place. The authors and contributors demonstrate that religion is a significant force that drives societies and polities around the world, and that a radical change in the Western understanding of value-driven global politics is needed. It offers new local voices that many Western audiences have not yet heard. The essays in this volume suggest the need for an appreciation of Divinity as a quintessence holding a significant place in the hearts, minds, social orders, and political organization of polities around the world. 517 $aBeyond the Death of God 606 $aWorld politics$y21st century 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a909.831 700 $aSohn$b Patricia$01254454 702 $aRaudino$b Simone 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910580224603321 996 $aBeyond the Death of God$93364293 997 $aUNINA
