The book based on the concept of kenosis explores the thought of a political theology as deconstruction of sovereignty. It takes up the most difficult question of God's revelation as the very revelation of love. It connects the theological inquiry to ecology, emphasizing humanity's redemption as intertwined with nature's salvation. It also critiques modern metaphysical views that treat nature as mere resource, urging a recognition of our essential interconnectedness with all beings. By taking Paul's conception of kenosis seriously, this book aims to dismantle existing sovereign powers and challenge the notion of human supremacy in global politics. It seeks to reintegrate transcendence into contemporary debates on post-secularism and religion, while addressing the urgent ecological crises we face. An interesting read for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, scholars, and other intellectuals interested in philosophy of religion and philosophical theology.
