Caputo ... offers us here what may be the definitive study of this issue...  Highly recommended.\" Choice \"The book is a feast of wordplay, but it is wordplay the mind can feed on... a landmark publication.\" --Journal of the American Academy of Religion \"Caputo's book is riveting... A singular achievement of stylistic brio and impeccable scholarship, it breaks new ground in making a powerful case for treating Derrida as homo religiosis... There can be no mistaking the importance of Caputo's work.\" -- Edith Wyschogrod \"No one interested in Derrida, in Caputo, or in the larger question of postmodernism and religion can afford to ignore this pathbreaking study. Taking full advantage of the most recent and least discussed writings of Derrida, it offers a careful and comprehensive account of the religious dimension of Derrida's thought.\" -- Merold Westphal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: A Passion for the Impossible\u003cbr\u003eA Map for the Perplexed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI.
