This sparkling collection of essays invites readers to join a
seasoned scholar on his journey to catch "radical theology" in
action, both in the Church and our culture at large. Capturing a
career's worth of thought and erudition, this rich volume treats
readers to creative thought, careful argumentation, and
sophisticated analysis transmitted through the lucid, accessible
prose that has earned the author a wide readership of academics and
non-academics alike. In tackling "radical theology," John D. Caputo
has in mind the deeper stream that courses its way through various
historical and confessional theologies, upon which these theologies
draw even while it disturbs them from within. They are well served
by this disturbance because it keeps them on their toes. When we
read about professional theologians' losing their jobs in
confessional institutions, the chances are that, by earnestly
digging into what is going on in their tradition, they have hit
upon radical theological rock. Unlike modernist dismissals of
religion, radical theology does not debunk but re-invents the
theological tradition. Radical theology, Caputo says, is a double
deconstruction-of supernatural theology on the one hand and of
transcendental reason on the other, and therefore of the settled
distinctions between the religious and the secular. Caputo also
addresses the challenge for radical theology to earn a spot in the
curriculum, given that the "radical" makes it suspect among the
confessional seminaries while the "theology" renders it suspect
among university seminars. Journeying from the academy to
contemporary American culture, In Search of Radical Theology
includes a captivating presentation of radical political theology
for the time of Trump. This utterly unique volume not only brings
readers on an enlightening tour of Caputo's thought but also
invites us to accompany the author as he travels into intriguing
new territories.
