Awaiting the King

In this insightful conclusion to his Cultural Liturgies project, James K. A. Smith delves into politics through the lens of liturgy, proposing that citizens should be viewed as lovers, not just thinkers or believers. He challenges conventional political analysis by suggesting that institutions are not merely governing entities but also shape our loves and values. By reframing political engagement as an opportunity to foster a collective ethos aimed at the common good, Smith creatively intertwines theological and philosophical reflections while addressing the religious dimensions of politics and worship.
