The title  “Politics as Theology” of the 5th Annual International Summer School and Conference 2017 “Beyond Secular Faith”, stems from a conviction that only a faith liberated from the conceptual restraints and ideological presuppositions imposed by secular culture – a faith centered radically on Christ – can offer a word of hope and reason to human life.
