Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewA heartfelt, pragmatic, and eminently realistic argument about how one might continue to think about--and even dedicate one's life to--God after the 'death' or 'disappearance' of God over the last hundred years or so... Richard Kearney wants to see what is left of God, in the time after God, and he does so superbly well. The New Yorker provides a thought-provoking exchange between the religious and contemporary continental philosophy. -- Robert W.M. Kennedy Symposium As always, Kearney's work is poetic and thoughtful. -- Forrest Clingerman Religious Studies Review This book is the outcome of a rich philosophical journey... I highly recommend this book to readers who wish to move beyond well-trodden paths in the debate between theism and atheism. -- M. Moyaert Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses A heartfelt, pragmatic, and eminently realistic argument about how one might continue to think about-and even dedicate one's life to-God after the 'death' or 'disappearance' of God over the last hundred years or so. -- James Wood Page-Turner blog, The New Yorker
