In recent decades, theologians and philosophers of religion have
engaged in a vigorous debate concerning the status and nature of
ecclesiology. Throughout this debate, they have found resources for
their arguments in concepts of political philosophy, particularly
communitarianism and political liberalism. In this groundbreaking
study, Peter Dula turns instead to the work of philosopher Stanley
Cavell, examining the ways in which Cavell's understanding of
companionship contributes to the debate over church and community.
Since the 1960s, Stanley Cavell has been the most category-defying
philosopher in North America, as well as one of the least
understood. Philosophers did not know what to make of his deep
engagement with literature and film, or, stranger yet, with his
openness to theological concerns. In this, the first English study
of Cavell and theology, Dula places Cavell in conversation with
some of the philosophers most influential in contemporary theology:
Alasdair MacIntyre, Martha Nussbaum and John Rawls. He then
examines Cavell's relationship to Christian theology, shedding
light on the repeated appearances of the figure of Christ in
Cavell's writings.
Cavell, Companionship, and Christian Theology finds in Cavell's
account of skepticism and acknowledgment a transformative resource
for theological discussions - not just of ecclesiology, but of sin,
salvation and the existence of God.
