Description: Focusing on her life rather than her death, Winnifred Fallers Sullivan offers an interpretation of Joan of Arc as a political thinker and actor.
Review Quotes: Making a King attends to how Joan of Arc pulls at and reties the conceptual knot of religion and politics, helping us to understand a familiar figure in a truly new light. Here we have a leading scholar not only advancing her earlier, pathbreaking research but experimenting with creative new directions, grappling with the complexity of primary source material and a range of cutting-edge theories. This book is political theology at its very best.--Vincent W. Lloyd, coauthor of What Is Political Theology?
