Passion For The Real Political Theology and the Postsecular

Overview

Passion For The Real inspires a search for God/the divine in small things. Here, the mundane and the transcendent are separated only by a razor- thin divide, if not converging. This radical theology shifts the focus from the overarching presence of an Omni-God to immanence, where divinity manifests in the lived realities of people. In political theology, this translates into the embodied acts of care, justice, and resistance. This postsecular theology invites us to rethink religion as a political practice aimed at transforming society. Drawing on B.R. Ambedkar's visionary idea of a political community (sangha) that fosters love, compassion, and fraternity, Y.T. Vinayaraj redefines the sacred for our fractured times.
