The Insistence of God: A Theology of Perhaps by John D. Caputo (English) Hardcov

Description: The Insistence of God by John D. Caputo Presents the provocative idea that God does not exist, God insists, while Gods existence is a human responsibility, which may or may not happen FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Insistence of God presents the provocative idea that God does not exist, God insists, while Gods existence is a human responsibility, which may or may not happen. For John D. Caputo, Gods existence is haunted by "perhaps," which does not signify indecisiveness but an openness to risk, to the unforeseeable. Perhaps constitutes a theology of what is to come and what we cannot see coming. Responding to current critics of continental philosophy, Caputo explores the materiality of perhaps and the promise of the world. He shows how perhaps can become a new theology of the gaps God opens. Notes Presents the provocative idea that God does not exist, God insists, while Gods existence is a human responsibility, which may or may not happen Author Biography John D. Caputo is Thomas J.

Caputo is at the top of his game, and he is not content to reiterate what he has already expressed, but continues to develop his own ideas further by way of a thorough engagement with the fields of theology, Continental philosophy, and religious thought." Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas Promotional A new theology that questions the promise of God Review Quote "[T]his is a valuable theological contribution for those with ears to hear. . . . Recommended."-- Choice "The Insistence of God is a tour de force of novel, provocative ideas expressed in Heideggerian, Derridean, and Deleuzian rhetoric. It reads like a manifesto for a new wave of Christian theologians who re-imagine theology under the name of theopoetics."-- Bibliographia "Caputos Insistence of God is an excellent text that opens the way into new forms of theological thinking. He puts forward an argument that must be wrestled with and brings to light new avenues for both religious and theological thought. Caputo is not for the faint of heart as his style is, at times, trenchant; but, in the end, wrestling with his work makes one better on the other side."-- Reviews in Religion and Theology "In my life I have read no more stimulating book of theology. Buckle your seatbelt!"-- Dialog "Challenging, combative, witty, and incisive, this is Caputo at his best. The Insistence of God is a cry in the postmodern desert for a fuller life to come, not elsewhere, but here among the least of these. It makes bold the mission of radical theology to haunt and disrupt the slumber of confessional theology. It awakens troubling thoughts and solicits deep responses. This is a work of audacity and insight, but above all--though the word is discreetly traced--of love."--Richard Kearney, Boston College "John D. Caputo is at the top of his game, and he is not content to reiterate what he has already expressed, but continues to develop his own ideas further by way of a thorough engagement with the fields of theology, Continental philosophy, and religious thought."--Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas "John Caputo has done it again with his latest work of radical theology. He has put the cat among the theological pigeons and flustered the philosophical dovecotes in no uncertain terms--a real tour de force or perhaps a tour de faiblesse, choc-a-bloc with unorthodoxy but with a very serious point. It is difficult to know which to admire more his great erudition or his remarkable courage."--Patrick Masterson, University College, Dublin "For those allergic to theological certainty--whether of Gods existence or of Gods death--Caputo delivers storm-fresh relief: the theopoetics of Gods insistence."--Catherine Keller, Drew University Promotional "Headline" A new theology that questions the promise of God Feature Connect with John Caputo on Facebook Details ISBN0253010012 Author John D.
