This is a major contribution to the link between theology and
philosophy, introducing the core ideas of Michel Foucault to
students of theology. Near the end of his life, Michel Foucault
turned his attention to the early church Fathers. He did so not for
anything like a return to God but rather because he found in those
sources alternatives for re-imaging the self. And though Foucault
never seriously entertained Christianity beyond theorizing its
aesthetic style one might argue that Christian practices like
confession or Eucharist share family resemblances to Foucaultian
sensibilities. This book will explain how to do theology in light
of Foucault, or more precisely, to read Foucault as if God
mattered. Therefore, it will seek to articulate practices like
confession, prayer, and so on as techniques for the self, situate
'the church as politics' within present constellations of power,
disclose theological knowledges as modes of critical intervention,
or what Foucault called archaeology, and conceptualize Christian
existence in time through mnemonic practices of genealogy. "The
Philosophy and Theology" series looks at major philosophers and
explores their relevance to theological thought as well as the
response of theology.
