Book Synopsis
A discussion of a complex question: whether and how the death of the god conceived as a highest being in Western and modern traditions might open a new space within which to rethink God in terms of a gift or giving that would stand beyond the usual spate of metaphysical categories.

Table of Contents
Part 1 God and Being: the Problem of Being and the Question about God - Metaphysics and Theism, the Epistemological and Linguistic Turns, Language, Being and God; Beyond Theism and Atheism - the Concept of God after Post-modernity, Reactive Atheism, Alterity and Transcendence. Part 2 God and the Gift: from Ontology to Ethics - the Delimitation of Presence, the Ethical and the Sacramental, Presence and Praxis; from Ethics to the Gift - the Gift and Transcendence, the Gift as Logos and Kairos, the Gift and the Fitting Response.
