Trade Review
"Heron's book offers a magisterial reconstruction of the Christian idea of government. Liturgical Power makes a crucially important intervention into the emerging field of political theology." -- --Miguel Vatter University of New South Wales "Liturgical Power makes a significant contribution to liturgical studies through its ability to illuminate Agamben's significant work on the subject in his more recent writings. The book demonstrates first-rate scholarship in that it takes up a significant philological discussion that is pursued across centuries and various sources." -- --Colby Dickinson Loyola University Chicago
