The 'theological turn' in continental philosophy and the 'turn to
Paul' in political philosophy have occasioned a return to radical
theology, a tradition whose philosophical heritage can be traced to
the death of God announced in the work of Nietzsche and Hegel. John
D. Caputo's deconstructive theology and Slavoj Zizek's materialist
theology are two radical theologies that explore what it might mean
to pass through the death of God and to abandon this experience as
specifically Christian. Radical Theology and Emerging Christianity
demonstrates how these theologies are transforming everyday
religious practices through an examination of the work of Peter
Rollins and Kester Brewin, two figures at the radical margins of a
contemporary expression of Western religiosity called emerging
Christianity. The author uses her analysis of all four figures to
argue that deconstructive practices can enable religious
communities to become part of a wider materialist collective in
which the death of God continues to resonate. Pushing the
methodological boundaries of philosophy of religion by examining
religious practices as the site of philosophical signification, the
book challenges scholars and practitioners alike to a new and more
demanding dialogue between theory and practice.
