What is the relationship of religion to economy, ecology, and democracy? In our fraught moment, what critical questions of religion may help to assembly democratic processes, ecosystems, and economic structures differently? What possible futures might emerge from transdisciplinary work across these traditionally siloed scholarly areas of interest?

The essays in Assembling Futures reflect scholarly conversations among historians, political scientists, theologians, biblical studies scholars, and scholars of religion that transgress disciplinary boundaries to consider urgent matters expressive of the values, practices, and questions that shape human existence. Each essay recognizes urgent imbrications of the global economy, multinational politics, and the materiality of ecological entanglements in assembling still possible futures for the earth. Precisely in their diversity of disciplinary starting points and ethical styles, the essays that follow enact their intersectional forcefield even more vibrantly.

Industry Reviews
Assembling Futures is an exceptional theological contribution to dealing with the urgency and intensities of political, economic, and ecological crises, often depicted as apocalyptic. Quigley and Keller do a phenomenal job assembling transdisciplinary analyses and critical reflections by outstanding, dedicated scholars in theology, bible, history, and political science. This work as a collective not only transgresses disciplinary boundaries but also performs how to engage the complexities of entangled catastrophes and struggles and assemble viable futures. This book is a must-read for anyone serious about the role of religion in imagining transformative futures in the present historical moment.---Jin Young Choi, Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins, Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School This fine volume of essays addresses the interweaving of ecological, political and economic crises. Exhibiting interdisciplinary assemblage as a model methodology for studies in religion and theology, it addresses the constitutive dynamics of social life, including religion, by grasping matters in relation, beyond the blinkered perspective of disciplinary silos. These rich and rewarding essays find new ways of thinking and doing political theology.---Philip Goodchild, Professor of Religion and Philosophy, University of Nottingham
