I have just had an article on Radical Orthodoxy rejected by one of the world's most prestigious theological journals, because, although the editor agreed with every word, it was too sophisticated for his readers. Seriously.
If anyone wants exactly three thousand words, plus endnotes and bibliography, double-spaced and all that, then do get in touch - davidaslindsay@hotmail.com
Anyway, Phillip Blond's Red Toryism, with John Milbank definitely in the background, is a very long way indeed from the "Eucharistic anarchism" of the RO glory days, when we were just supposed to do somehow Christian Socialist things without reference to the State, since, Early Modern princely and then republican absolutism being a perversion of ecclesiology (perfectly true), all political thought was therefore such a perversion (perfectly false).
Yes, a very long way indeed.
And thank God for that.

Why don't you post it here?
ReplyDeleteIf I can't place it anywhere else, then, in two or three installments and minus the notes and bibliography, I might just.
ReplyDeleteHere, it seems, it would reach a more erudite audience.
