Publishers Weekly Best Book in Religion 2020 Foreword Review's
INDIES Book of the Year Award, Religion In Theological Territories,
David Bentley Hart, one of America's most eminent contemporary
writers on religion, reflects on the state of theology "at the
borders" of other fields of discourse-metaphysics, philosophy of
mind, science, the arts, ethics, and biblical hermeneutics in
particular. The book advances many of Hart's larger theological
projects, developing and deepening numerous dimensions of his
previous work. Theological Territories constitutes something of a
manifesto regarding the manner in which theology should engage
other fields of concern and scholarship. The essays are divided
into five sections on the nature of theology, the relations between
theology and science, the connections between gospel and culture,
literary representations of and engagements with transcendence, and
the New Testament. Hart responds to influential books, theologians,
philosophers, and poets, including Rowan Williams, Jean-Luc Marion,
Tomas Halik, Sergei Bulgakov, Jennifer Newsome Martin, and David
Jones, among others. The twenty-six chapters are drawn from live
addresses delivered in various settings. Most of the material has
never been printed before, and those parts that have appear here in
expanded form. Throughout, these essays show how Hart's mind works
with the academic veneer of more formal pieces stripped away. The
book will appeal to both academic and non-academic readers
interested in the place of theology in the modern world.
