Discerning the Powers in Post-Colonial Africa and Asia

Explore the intricate dynamics of power in post-colonial contexts with Discerning the Powers in Post-Colonial Africa and Asia by Pak Nung Wong. Published by Springer Verlag in 2018, this paperback edition spans 182 pages and serves as a softcover reprint of the original 1st edition from 2016. Wong delves into the complexities of post-Westphalian sovereign statehood, framing it as a form of 'power' through the lens of Hendrik Berkhoff’s political theology. This insightful work engages in the longstanding theological and spiritual discourse between Christian realism and Christian pacifism, particularly in relation to U.S. foreign policy and the broader global Christian community. Ideal for scholars and readers interested in the intersections of theology, politics, and post-colonial studies, this book offers a compelling perspective on the evolving nature of power in today's world.
