The Blackwell Companion to

Postmodern Theology

Edited by

Graham Ward

University of Manchester

“Connecting theology to a variety of disciplines and intellectual traditions, this

companion provides an exciting sample of the current work of postmodern

theologians. Many of the essays are ground-breaking, as the ﬁelds of theology

and religious thought move forward into the next century. This is a valuable

sequel to Ward’s The Postmodern God !”

Robert Gibbs, University of Toronto

“If you think you know what postmodern theology is, or think you don’t know,

either way these remarkable essays will change your mind: written by Jews,

Christians and atheists; indebted to Plato, the Bible and Augustine; haunted by

Heidegger, Levinas, Foucault and Derrida; dealing with jazz, the Shoah, the

ecological crisis, the American prison system and many other topics; some long

and patient, others short and cryptic, all asking to be read more than once;

. . . You may still not know at the end but you will certainly have seen the variety

and vitality of what theologians are doing, in these postmodern times, and the

zest with which they do it.”

Fergus Kerr O.P., Regent of Blackfriars, Oxford

“Among the delights of this collection are the essays that dare to reconsider some

of the ‘bad guys’ in the ofﬁcial postmodern story: thus Catherine Pickstock

endeavours of rescue Plato from his Nietzschean decriers by rereading the

Republic through the Laws to offer an account of Plato’s politics as liturgical

rather than totalitarian; while Jean-Luc Marion even seeks to learn from the

much-despised Descartes.”

Literature & Theology

“[A] useful and exciting volume, bringing together the work of religious scholars

and theologians across a wide spectrum, creating space for their current work

independently from a given theme, showing them sometimes in agreement,

sometimes in heated argument with each other.”

Anglican Theological Review

Blackwell Companions to Religion
