"Derrida and Theology" is an invaluable guide for those ready to
ride the leading wave of contemporary theology. It gives
theologians the confidence to explore the major elements of
Derrida's work, and its influence on theology, without 'dumbing it
down' or ignoring its controversial aspects. Jacques Derrida: a
name to strike fear into the hearts of theologians. His thought has
been hugely influential in shaping postmodern philosophy, and its
impact has been felt across the humanities from literary studies to
architecture. However, he has also been associated with the
spectres of relativism and nihilism. Some have suggested he
undermines any notion of objective truth and stable
meaning.Fortunately, such premature judgements are gradually
changing. Derrida is now increasingly seen as a major contributor
to thinking about the complexity of truth, responsibility and
witnessing. Theologians and biblical scholars are engaging as never
before with Derrida's own deep-rooted reflections on religious
themes. From the nature of faith to the name of God, from
Messianism to mysticism, from forgiveness to the impossible, he has
broken new ground in thinking about religion in our time. His
thought and writing style remain highly complex, however, and can
be a forbidding prospect for the uninitiated.This book gives
theologians the confidence to explore the major elements of
Derrida's work, and its influence on theology, without 'dumbing it
down' or ignoring its controversial aspects. It examines his
philosophical approach, his specific work on religious themes, and
the ways in which theologians have interpreted, adopted and
disputed them. "Derrida and Theology" is an invaluable guide for
those ready to ride the leading wave of contemporary theology. "The
Philosophy and Theology" series looks at major philosophers and
explores their relevance to theological thought as well as the
response of theology.
