Sinossi

•Offers strong theory and language to rethink our political, economic and religious worldviews, in the vacuum after modernity.•Accessible, edgy and well-informed theology for a popular radical audience•The author is well-known for his involvement in the leading progressive podcast Nomad, and his appearances at Greenbelt Messianic stories run through the Abrahamic faiths and many others besides. Messianism is the religion of the oppressed; the faith of those whose struggle compels them toward alternative futures. Messianism has also become a watchword for visionaries of radical politics, far beyond confessional religious spaces. These sketches explore how we might encounter ourselves differently in the dim light of that illusive figure: how we might reimagine ourselves as ecological creatures, economic agents, and as beings who dance differently with power and life, amidst the many threads of messianic folklore.
