What comes after the end of Christendom? Christianity has ceased to
function as the dominant force in society and yet the Christian
faith continues. How are we to understand Christianity in this
‘after’? Bringing into conversation seven unorthodox or
‘heretical’ continental philosophers, including Jan Patocka,
Jean-Luc Nancy, Gianni Vattimo and John D. Caputo, Martin Koci
re-centres the debates around philosophy’s so-called return to
religion to address the current ‘not-Christian, but not yet
non-Christian’ culture. In the modern context of increasing
secularization and pluralization, Christianity after Christendom
boldly proposes that Christians must embrace the demise of
Christianity as a meta-narrative and see their faith as an
existential mode of being-in-the-world. Whilst not denying the
religion’s history, this ‘after’ of Christianity emancipates
the discourse from the socio-historical focus on Christendom and
introduces new perspectives on Christianity as an embodied
religious tradition, as a way of being, even as a faithfulness to
the world. In dialogue with a broad range of philosophical
movements, including deconstruction, phenomenology, hermeneutics
and postmodern critiques of religion, this is a timely examination
of the present and future of post-Christendom Christianity.
