In the fields of pastoral care and pastoral theology, there are times when a book signals a paradigm shift. This is one such book. LaMothe develops a political pastoral theology that is used to examine critically political, economic, and societal structures and practices. In the first part of the book, LaMothe argues that care and pastoral care are political concepts, which, along with the notion of justice, can be used as a hermeneutical framework to assess macropolitical and macroeconomic realities. Included in this section is the notion of civil and redemptive discourse, necessary for the survival and flourishing of persons and polis. The last section of the book examines U.S. Empire, capitalism, class, classism, and other pressing political issues using the hermeneutical lens of care. ""This is a landmark volume for pastoral theology. LaMothe explores issues long neglected in this field, such as U.S. imperialism, neoliberal capitalism, and class struggle . . . The result is a thorough revisioning of pastoral theology and care. This is an indispensable resource for leaders of religious congregations, theological educators, and all those engaged in caring for our shared life in such troubling times."" --Bruce Rogers-Vaughn, author of Caring for Souls in a Neoliberal Age ""Care is a dynamic reality and a political act. LaMothe's bold pastoral wisdom weaves a political theology around the intersections of privilege, power, gender, identity, labor, race, and class.
