This 2004 book reconfigures the basic problem of Christian thinking
- 'How can human discourse refer meaningfully to a transcendent
God?' - as a twofold demand for integrity: integrity of reason and
integrity of transcendence. Centring around a provocative yet
penetratingly faithful re-reading of Kant's empirical realism, and
drawing on an impelling confluence of contemporary thinkers
(including MacKinnon, Bonhoeffer, Marion, Putnam, Nagel) Paul D.
Janz argues that theology's 'referent' must be located within
present empirical reality. Rigorously reasoned yet refreshingly
accessible throughout, this book provides an important, attentively
informed alternative to the growing trends toward obscurantism,
radicalization and anti-reason in many recent assessments of
theological cognition, while remaining equally alert to the hazards
of traditional metaphysics. In the book's culmination, epistemology
and Christology converge around problems of noetic authority and
orthodoxy with a kind of innovation, depth and straightforwardness
that readers of theology at all levels of philosophical
acquaintance will find illuminating.
