Political Theology for Theological Politics

About the Book

1.      I have found this book compelling, interesting and relevant to contemporary society, especially in Africa and The Third World Countries.  I therefore, very strongly recommend it to pastors, politicians, theologians, public office holders, the general public and particularly, to all lecturers and students of science and the humanities.

2.      This is most certainly a great contribution to political and Biblical scholarship.

Rev. Msgr. David Cassato, Pastor  St. Athanasius Church, Brooklyn, New York and Chaplain, New York Police Department (NYPD)

3.      This book is an easy read. The ability to translate the past to the relevance of the present is a great credit to the author – Rev. Fr. Dr. Emem Umoren. He manifests comparatively an extraordinary ingenuity in blending his theological convictions with the demands of the world of politics.

Rev. Dr. Dominic Obielosi, Catholic Archdiocese of Onitsha Nigeria.

4.      This book, furnishing a rich, exciting and informative excursus into the religio-political history of Israel in the Isaianic prophetic era, has proven to be ever more relevant today.  I recommend it, therefore, to all who long and work for a better world.
