Overview
A highly engaging essay that will draw students into a conversation about
the vital relationship between philosophy and theology.
In
this clear, concise, and brilliantly engaging essay, renowned philosopher and theologian John D.
Caputo addresses the great and classical philosophical questions as they
inextricably intersect with theology--past, present, and future. Recognized as one of the
leading philosophers, Caputo is peerless in introducing and initiating students into the vital
relationship that philosophy and theology share together. He writes, “If you take a long enough
look, beyond the debates that divide philosophy and theology, over the walls that they have
built to keep each other out or beyond the wars to subordinate one to the other, you find a
common sense of awe, a common gasp of surprise or astonishment, like looking out at the endless
sprawl of stars across the evening sky or upon the waves of a midnight
sea.”
