Description
Book SynopsisPostmodern Apologetics provides an introduction to contemporary French thinkers who argue for the coherence and viability of Christian faith and religious experience with phenomenological and hermeneutical tools. It treats both French philosophers and appropriations of their thought in the North American context.
Trade Review"This book brings together in one place the thought of several philosophers of religion who are not well-known in the English-speaking world, but who have much to say that is relevant to contemporary discussions of religion, whether those discussions occur in philosophy or theology." -- -James Faulconer Brigham Young University "Christina M. Gschwandtner offers a masterful survey of religious themes in contemporary phenomenology, beginning with Heidegger, and ending with contemporary expositors and appropriators of a Derridian Detraction." -- Paul C. Maxwell -Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies "Focuses on Continental phenomenological thinkers whose works prepare and sustain a postmodern apologetic for religion and more specifically Christianity; also discusses their American interpreters." -The Chronicle of Higher Education
