About The Folly Of God: A Theology Of The Unconditional
Product Description Inspired by Paul Tillich's suggestion that atheism is not the end of theology but is instead the beginning, and working this together with Derrida's idea of the undeconstructible, Caputo explores the idea that the real interest of theology is not God, especially not God as supreme being, but the unconditional. The Folly of God continues the radical reading of Paul's explosive language in 1 Corinthians about the stand God makes with the nothings and nobodies of the world first introduced in The Weakness of God (2006) and The Insistence of God (2013). Review This volume represents the most accessible and arresting account yet of John Caputo s radical theology. His brilliant questioning challenges the reader to rethink religion after the death of the God. What survives after the deconstruction of the Supreme Being of Metaphysics? What remains of the bold folly of faith, indeed to the bold folly of God? What can we still say yes to, unconditionally, madly, with our whole heart and our whole soul? This book is a mind-changer. --Richard Kearney, Boston College About the Author John D. Caputo is Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion Emeritus at Syracuse University and David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy emeritus at Villanova University. A hybrid philosopher/theologian who works in the area of radical theology, Caputo is the author of many books, including On Religion (1971), What Would Jesus Deconstruct? (2006), and Truth (2013). His book The Weakness of God: A Theology of the Event (2006) won the American Academy of Religion award for excellence in constructive theology.
