Description: This penetrating work cuts to the core of issues and questions--What is the nature of God? What is the nature of being? What is the relationship between God and being? What is the meaning of forgiveness, faith, piety, or transcendence?--that define the terrain of contemporary philosophy of religion.

Review Quotes:

". . . The Weakness of God is a bold attempt to reconfigure the terms of debate around the topic of divine omnipotence. Caputo has a gift for explaining Continental philosophy's jargon succinctly and accurately, and despite technical and foreign terms, this book will engage upper-level undergraduates. Includes scriptural and general indexes. . . . Highly recommended."--Choice

"Caputo comes out of the closet as a theologian in this work. . . ."--Catherine Keller, Drew University
