From Library Journal
This collection of essays by 12 authors sets out to do no less than reinvent theology according to its traditional revelations and insights in light of?and occasionally despite?current movements in humanism and postmodernism. While the reliance on a firm knowledge of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Hegel, and others may make the essays quite daunting to nonacademic readers, they are valuable, surprising, and stimulating. Highly recommended for collections in religious studies.Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Radical Orthodoxy is a new wave of theological thinking that seeks to re-inject the modern world with theology. The group of theologians associated with Radical Orthodoxy are dissatisfied with conteporary theolgical responses to both modernity and postmodernity

Radical Orthodoxy is a collection that aims to reclaim the world by situating its concerns and activities within a theological framework. By mapping the new theology against a range of areas where modernity has failed, these essays offer us way out of the impasses that

postmodernity represents.

'handmaid of faith,' yet rather than reduce its stature, offers ways of extending its tentative explorations. The contributors to this volume provide just such explorations to tease us well beyond 'philosophy of religon' to fresh theological horizons (David B. Burrell, C.S.C., Hesburgh

Professor of Philosophy and Theology, University of Notre Dame)
