Rezensionen

"Postsecular History's strength lies in its weaving together of a diverse collection of literature that attends to broad historical themes of periodization and progress ... . Kennel provides illuminating close readings of his chosen texts, his tendency to summarize source material can make the book read like a literature review at times."(Jonas Brandt, Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, December 6, 2023)
"This book is an interesting, engaging, and wide-ranging argument that displays considerable depth. ... I conclude with the assessment that Kennel's work is important to Christian political theology. He offers insightful engagements ... and brings to view what goes on in seemingly innocent activities and habit of mind, such as periodization. ... This book serves as a solid contribution to political theology at this early stage of Kennel's career; I look forward to hearing more from his distinctive voice soon." (Paul Doerksen, Mennonite Quarterly Review, Vol. 96, October, 2022)
