Description
Book SynopsisThis book explores a “theopoetics” of multiplicity, how it contributes to scholarship on the edge of theology, philosophy, literature, and sociology, how it questions the establishment of the difference between philosophy and theology and resides in the dangerous realm of relativism, but might also heal the desperateness of orthodox persecution.
Trade Review"Theopoetic Folds is a great contribution and indication that the most creative work in theology is taking place where process and postmodern ideas intersect." -- -Clayton Crockett University of Central Arkansas
