"Connecting theology to a variety of disciplines and
intellectual traditions, this companion provides an exciting sample
of the current work of postmodern theologians. Many of the essays
are ground-breaking, as the fields of theology and religious
thought move forward into the next century. The polyphony of the
volume provides surprising moments of harmony (and discord). This
is a valuable sequel to Ward's THEPOSTMODERN GOD, and will be
useful in the classroom." Robert Gibbs, University of
Toronto
"The essays provide a lofty introduction to contemporary
theology. The introductory essay by Ward is as good as it gets on
this topic." Choice
"Among the delights of this collection are the essays that dare
to reconsider some of the 'bad guys' in the official postmodern
story: thus Catherine Pickstock endeavours to rescue Plato from his
Nietzschean decriers, by re-reading the Republic through the
Laws to offer an account of Plato's politics as liturgical
rather than totalitarian; while Jean-Luc Marion even seeks to learn
from the much-despised Descartes." Literature &
Theology
"a...useful and exciting volume, bringing together the work of
religious scholars and theologians across a wide spectrum, creating
space for their current work independently from a given theme,
showing them sometimes in agreement, sometimes in heated argument
with each other." Anglican Theological Review
"A book good libraries should have." Theological Studies
