The Blackwell Companion to Postmodern Theology

Forlagets omtale:
'If you think you know what postmodern theology is, or think you don't know, either way these remarkable essays will change your mind: written by Jews, Christians and atheists, indebted to Plato, the Bible and Augustine, haunted by Heidegger, Levinas, Foucault and Derrida, dealing with jazz, the Shoah, the ecological crisis, the American prison system and many other topics, some long and patient, others short and cryptic, all asking to be read more than once. You may still not know at the end but you will certainly have seen the variety and vitality of what theologians are doing, in these postmodern times, and the zest with which they do it.' Fergus Kerr, Blackfriars
