Laurel Schneider takes the reader on a vivid journey from the
origins of "the logic of the One" - only recently dubbed monotheism
- through to the modern day, where monotheism has increasingly
failed to adequately address spiritual, scientific, and ethical
experiences in the changing world. In Part I, Schneider traces a
trajectory from the ancient history of monotheism and multiplicity
in Greece, Israel, and Africa through the Constantinian
valorization of the logic of the One, to medieval and modern
challenges to that logic in poetry and science. She pursues an
alternative and constructive approach in Part II: a "logic of
multiplicity" already resident in Christian traditions in which the
complexity of life and the presence of God may be better
articulated. Part III takes up the open-ended question of ethics
from within that multiplicity, exploring the implications of this
radical and realistic new theology for the questions that lie
underneath theological construction: questions of belonging and
nationalism, of the possibility of love, and of unity. In this
groundbreaking work of contemporary theology, Schneider shows that
the One is not lost in divine multiplicity, and that in spite of
its abstractions, divine multiplicity is realistic and worldly,
impossible ultimately to abstract.
