You Tube Theology

"This book is a way to think about politics liturgically." Watch James K. A Smith discuss his new book, Awaiting the King: Reforming Public Theology (Baker Academic, 2017). In this culmination of his widely read and highly acclaimed Cultural Liturgies project, Smith examines politics through the lens of liturgy. What if, he asks, citizens are not only thinkers or believers but also lovers? Smith explores how our analysis of political institutions would look different if we viewed them as incubators of love-shaping practices--not merely governing us but forming what we love. http://jameskasmith.com/
