Description: Long past the time when philosophers from different perspectives had joined the funeral procession that declared the death of God, a renewed interest has arisen in regard to the questions of God and religion in philosophy. This book brings some of these philosophical views together to present an overview of the philosophical scene in its dealings with religion, but also to move beyond the outsider's perspective. Reflecting on these philosophical interpretations from a fundamental theological perspective, the authors discover in what way these interpretations can challenge an understanding of today's faith.
Review Quotes: 'Theologians and philosophers have always engaged in mutually critical and often constructive and enriching debates on questions of method as well as on truth claims in religion in general and Christian faith in particular. This volume invites the reader to consider exciting contributions to such debates by influential contemporary thinkers walking along the boundaries between both disciplines. Pressing issues such as experience, truth, method, revelation, desire, kenosis, plurality and weakness of thinking in a global and post-ontotheological age are explored in great depth and within different horzions. Reading this book greatly benefits established and aspiring philosophers and theologians alike.' Werner G. Jeanrond, University of Glasgow, UK '...offers a challenging and timely state-of-affairs of the dialogue between theologians and philosophers in the intellectual world of today.' Philosophia
