Beschreibung

The author of What Would Jesus Deconstruct? makes ';a bold attempt to reconfigure the terms of debate around the topic of divine omnipotence' (Choice). Applying an ever more radical hermeneuticsincluding Husserlian and Heideggerian phenomenology, Derridian deconstruction, and feminismJohn D.Caputo breaks down the name of God in this irrepressible book. Instead of looking at God as merely a name, Caputo views it as an event, or what the name conjures or promises in the future. For Caputo, the event exposes God as weak, unstable, and barely functional. While this view of God flies in the face of most religions and philosophies, it also puts up a serious challenge to fundamental tenets of theology and ontology. Along the way, Caputo's readings of the New Testament, especially of Paul's view of the Kingdom of God, help to support the ';weak force' theory. This penetrating work cuts to the core of issues and questionsWhat is the nature of God? What is the nature of being? What is the relationship between God and being? What is the meaning of forgiveness, faith, piety, or transcendence?that define the terrain of contemporary philosophy of religion. ';Caputo comes out of the closet as a theologian in this work.' Catherine Keller, Drew University ';Caputo has a gift for explaining Continental philosophy's jargon succinctly and accurately, and despite technical and foreign terms, this book will engage upper-level undergraduates. Includes scriptural and general indexes... Highly recommended.' Choice
