<p>This book argues for a synthesis of theocratic political theology and affirmative biopolitics. Theocratic political theology is an anti-Schmittian political theology that challenges the sacralisation of sovereign power, or the different ways secular power has usurped the aura of religious transcendence. Affirmative biopolitics encompasses a series of approaches that advance positive forms of biopower. </p><p>The book explores a paradigm of political life that counters the negative effects of biopolitical governmentality and restores the indivisible link between life and its political/historical nature. It interrogates the complex entanglement between the persistent sacralisation of power in modernity and the irrepressible biopolitical surplus produced by the operation of neoliberal governmentality.</p>
