In tackling \"radical theology,\" John D. Caputo has in mind the deeper stream that courses its way through various historical and confessional theologies, upon which these theologies draw even while it disturbs them from within. They are well served by this disturbance because it keeps them on their toes. When we read about professional theologians' losing their jobs in confessional institutions, the chances are that, by earnestly digging into what is going on in their tradition, they have hit upon radical theological rock.\u003cbr\u003e Unlike modernist dismissals of religion, radical theology does not debunk but \u003ci\u003ere-invents\u003c\/i\u003e the theological tradition. Radical theology, Caputo says, is a double deconstruction—of supernatural theology on the one hand and of transcendental reason on the other, and therefore of the settled distinctions between the religious and the secular. Caputo also addresses the challenge for radical theology to earn a spot in the curriculum, given that the \"radical\" makes it suspect among the confessional seminaries while the \"theology\" renders it suspect among university seminars. Journeying from the academy to contemporary American culture, \u003ci\u003eIn Search of Radical Theology \u003c\/i\u003eincludes a captivating presentation of radical political theology for the time of Trump. This utterly unique volume not only brings readers on an enlightening tour of Caputo's thought but also invites us to accompany the author as he travels into intriguing new territories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003c\/i\u003e   xi\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: What Is Radical Theology?   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e Tradition and Event: Radicalizing the Catholic Principle   29\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eProclaiming the Year of the Jubilee: Thoughts on a Spectral Life   45\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e Derrida and the Trace of Religion   77\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e Augustine and Postmodernism   94\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5\u003c\/b\u003e On Not Settling for an Abridged Edition of Postmodernism: Radical Hermeneutics as Radical Theology   109\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6 \u003c\/b\u003eUnprotected Religion: Radical Theology, Radical Atheism, and the Return of Anti-Religion   125\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e7\u003c\/b\u003e Forget Rationality—Is There Religious Truth?   151\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e8\u003c\/b\u003e Radical Theologians, Knights of Faith, and the Future of the Philosophy of Religion   165\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e9\u003c\/b\u003e Theology in Trumptime: The Insistence of America   185\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e10\u003c\/b\u003e Hoping against Hope: The Possibility of the Impossible   189\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLike a Devilish \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eKnight of Faith:\u003c\/b\u003e A Concluding Quasi-Theological Postscript   203\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e   207\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e   209\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e   241\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580425793816,"sku":"9780823289189","price":69.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/in-search-of-radical-theology-expositions-explorations-exhortations-hardback-9780823289189","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
