Questioning God

In 15 insightful essays, Jacques Derrida and an international group of
scholars of religion explore postmodern thinking about God and consider the nature
of forgiveness in relation to the paradoxes of the gift. Among the themes addressed
by contributors are the possibilities of imagining God as unthinkable, imagining God
as non-patriarchal, imagining a return to Augustine, and imagining an age in which
praise is far more important than narrative. Questioning God moves readers beyond
the parameters of metaphysical reason and modernist rationality as it attempts to
think the questions of God and forgiveness in a postmodernist
context.

Contributors include John D. Caputo, Jacques Derrida,
Mark Dooley, Francis Schüssler Fiorenza, Robert Gibbs, Jean Greisch, Kevin Hart,
Richard Kearney, Cleo McNelly Kearns, John Milbank, Regina M. Schwartz, Michael J.
Scanlon, and Graham Ward.
