Impossible God introduces Derrida's theology for a new generation
interested in Derrida's writings and in the future of theology, and
clarifies Derrida's theology for those already familiar with his
writings. Derrida's theological concerns are now widely recognised
but Impossible God shows how Derrida's theology takes its shape
from his earliest writings on Edmund Husserl and from explorations
into Husserl's unpublished manuscripts on time and theology.
Rayment-Pickard argues that Derrida goes beyond both the nihilism
of the 'death of God' and the denials of negative theology to
affirm a theology of God's 'impossibility'. Derrida's 'impossible
God' is not another God of the philosophers but a powerful deity
capable of wakening us into faith, ethical responsibility and love.
Showing how central theology has been to Derrida's philosophy since
the beginning of his career, Impossible God presents an accessible
study of a neglected area of Derrida's writing which students of
philosophy and theology will find invaluable.
