" A Radical Political Theology for the Anthropocene Era is defiantly prophetic, provocatively otherwise, extensively researched, theologically astute, and courageously hopeful--a tour de force. Readers concerned about the world's economic disparities, societal violence, political disorder, and the reality of climate change have a wise teacher in LaMothe. Be empowered into reflection, conversation, and the courage to care." --Jaco Hamman, Vanderbilt Divinity School "A profound look at what it means to hope in a loving and realistic way during the climate crisis. Careful discussions of sovereignty, dwelling, and the space of appearances add up to a political theology wise enough to face the thoroughgoing changes already upon us." --Phil Helsel, author of Pastoral Care & Counseling: Care for Stories, Systems, and Selves "Are you overwhelmed by the moral distress of caring for this fragile earth and each other in the face of climate crises and a pandemic? Read this book. It will help you find purpose through your daily acts of care. You will be sustained by LaMothe's theology of 'the non-sovereign God's indeterminate, infinite love/care in creation.


' You will find solidarity in caring that dismantles theologies of sovereignty that have wreaked havoc upon the earth." --Carrie Doehring, Iliff School of Theology "In this meticulous and moving political theology, LaMothe stares without flinching at looming ecological disasters and mass migration arising from climate change. Refusing facile assertions of hope along with nihilism and despair, LaMothe locates in moments of tender parental vulnerability and of tormented divine humility a path forward for responding to one another and to all creation. No one else could have written this stunning work." --Robert C. Dykstra, Princeton Theological Seminary.
