An examinations of Vattimo's work asking to what extent his
insights present new challenges to Christian thought. Gianni
Vattimo, who has long been a prominent postmodern European
philosopher, has recently taken a more significant interest in
religion. His claim is that postmodern philosophy, with its
incisive critique of rationalist, objectifying ways of thinking,
can help religion once again find a voice in a largely
disinterested Europe and an often fundamentalist America. To
accomplish this, Vattimo contends, religion must attend to certain
contemporary philosophical themes that, he argues, are ultimately
consistent with biblical intentions. To this end, Vattimo employs
his theoretical insights on themes such as: the nature of
modernity/post modernity, the importance of 'weak' as opposed to
'strong' thought, the dissolution of metaphysics; and the end of
the authoritarian, moralistic God. This book will examine the
entire range of Vattimo's work asking to what extent his insights
present new challenges to Christian thought. "The Philosophy and
Theology" series looks at major philosophers and explores their
relevance to theological thought as well as the response of
theology.
