Looking at the dialogue between philosophy and theology, this book addresses the contemporary reshaping of intellectual boundaries, and explores human experience in a 'post-Christian' era. It points to ways of reconfiguring both traditional reason, faith oppositions and those between interpretation, text and language, and experience.
Presenting new opportunities in the dialogue between philosophy and theology, this interdisciplinary text addresses the contemporary reshaping of intellectual boundaries. Exploring human experience in a 'post-Christian' era, the distinguished contributors bring to bear what have been traditionally seen as theological resources while drawing on contemporary developments in philosophy, both 'continental' and 'analytic'. Set in the context of two complementary narratives - one philosophical concerning secularity, the other theological about the question of God - the authors point to ways of reconfiguring both traditional reason / faith oppositions and those between interpretation / text and language / experience. Contributors: David Brown, Philip Clayton, Chris Firestone, Grace Jantzen, Nicholas Lash, George Pattison, Dan Stiver, Charles Taylor, Kevin Vanhoozer, Graham Ward, Martin Warner.
"...the interdisciplinary series Transcending Boundaries in Philosophy and Theology is a welcome initiative... The editors provide a helpful introduction and two stimulating introductory essays, as well as supplying concise summaries of the ensuing chapters.' Church Times '... the attempt to consider the relationship between philosophy and theology in a new way is to be commended: for this reason it deserves the kind of careful reading demanded by its contents."-
