The 'theological turn' in continental philosophy and the 'turn to
Paul' in political philosophy have occasioned a return to radical
theology, a tradition whose philosophical heritage can be traced to
the death of God announced in the work of Nietzsche and Hegel. John
D. Caputo's deconstructive theology and Slavoj Zizek's materialist
theology are two radical theologies that explore what it might mean
to pass through the death of God and to abandon this experience as
specifically Christian. Radical Theology and Emerging Christianity
demonstrates how these theologies are transforming everyday
religious practices through an examination of the work of Peter
Rollins and Kester Brewin, two figures at the radical margins of a
contemporary expression of Western religiosity called emerging
Christianity. The author uses her analysis of all four figures to
argue that deconstructive practices can enable religious
communities to become part of a wider materialist collective in
which the death of God continues to resonate. Pushing the
methodological boundaries of philosophy of religion by examining
religious practices as the site of philosophical signification, the
book challenges scholars and practitioners alike to a new and more
demanding dialogue between theory and practice.

Is the affirmation or intensification of life a value in itself?
Can life itself be thought? This book breaks new ground in
religious and philosophical thinking on the concept of life. It
captures a moment in which such thinking is regaining its force and
attraction for scholars, and the relevance of thought to social,
cultural, political and religious dilemmas about how and why to
live. Bringing together original contributions by highly
distinguished authors in the field of Continental philosophy of
religion, including John D. Caputo, Pamela Sue Anderson, Philip
Goodchild, Alison Martin and Don Cupitt, this book has a
distinctiveness based on its refusal to sit easily within either
secular philosophical or theological approaches. The concept of
life mobilizes a thinking that crosses narrow disciplinary
boundaries, whilst retaining philosophical rigour. Three sections
explore the various dimensions of the question of life: The
Politics of Life'; 'Life and the Limits of Thinking'; and 'Life and
Spirituality'. This book will be of interest to a broad range of
readers in the humanities, particularly to philosophers,
theologians, cultural theorists and all those interested in
philosophical or theological debates on the concept of life.
