Socialism and Apocalyptic" introduces political theology and the posthumous work of Otto Bauer (1897-1986). Bauer himself was from 1927 to 1934 chairman of the Federation of Religious Socialists (BRS) in Austria. His posthumous writings have been unpublished to date and represent an attempt at a politicaltheology whose theological and philosophical interrelationshipsdepict a specific interpretation of apocalyptic.

An Insurrectionist Manifesto contains four insurrectionary gospels based on Martin Heidegger's philosophical model of the fourfold: earth and sky, gods and mortals. Challenging religious dogma and dominant philosophical theories, they offer a cooperative, world-affirming political theology that promotes new life through not resurrection but insurrection. The insurrection in these gospels unfolds as a series of miraculous yet worldly practices of vital affirmation. Since these routines do not rely on fantasies of escape, they engender intimate transformations of the self along the very coordinates from which they emerge. Enacting a comparative and contagious postsecular sensibility, these gospels draw on the work of Slavoj Žižek, Giorgio Agamben, Catherine Malabou, François Laruelle, Peter Sloterdijk, and Gilles Deleuze yet rejuvenate scholarship in continental philosophy, critical race theory, the new materialisms, speculative realism, and nonphilosophy. They think beyond the sovereign force of the one to initiate a radical politics "after" God.

Shatters the common academic myth that neoliberalism is simply free market fundamentalism plus political conservatism Explains how neoliberalism is a regime of culture and values – far more than political economy Turns much of today’s progressive politics upside down by showing that many of the would-be liberators are really the exploiters: as Marx and Engels declared, the ‘ruling ideas’ of our era must be unmasked as ‘the ideas of the ruling class’ Offers a vision of what might lie beyond neoliberalism Connects the analysis of neoliberalism to the cultural diagnosis of Friedrich Nietzsche, who declared ‘God is dead’Neoliberalism in recent years has become the operative buzzword among pundits and academics to characterise an increasingly dysfunctional global political economy. It is often – wrongly – identified exclusively with free market fundamentalism and illiberal types of cultural conservatism. Combining penetrating argument and broad-ranging scholarship, Carl Raschke shows what the term really means, how it evolved and why it has been so misunderstood. Raschke lays out how the present new world disorder, signalled by the election of Trump and Brexit, derives less from the ascendancy of reactionary forces and more from the implosion of the post-Cold War effort to establish a progressive international moral and political order for the cynical benefit of a new cosmopolitan knowledge class, mimicking the so-called civilising mission of 19th-century European colonialists.

""This is a book about what it would mean to be a bit moody in the midst of being theological and political. It's framing assumption is that neoliberal economics relies on narratives in which not being in the right mood means a cursed existence." So begins Grave Attending: A Political Theology for the Unredeemed, which mounts a challenge to neoliberal narratives of redemption. Mapping the contemporary state of political theology, Karen Bray brings it to bear upon secularism, Marxist thought, affect theory, queer temporality and other critical modes as a way to refuse separating one's personal mood from the political or philosophical. Introducing the concept of bipolar time, she offers a critique of neoliberal temporality by countering capitalist priorities of efficiency through the experiences of mania and depression. And it is here Bray makes her crucial critical turn, one that values the power of those who are unredeemed in the eyes of liberal democracy - those too slow, too mad, too depressed to be of productive worth -- suggesting forms of utopia in the poetics of crip theory and ordinary habit. Through performances of what she calls grave attending -- being brought down by the gravity of what is and listening to the ghosts of what might have been -- Bray asks readers to choose collective care over individual overcoming"--
