Publishers Weekly Best Book in Religion 2020 Foreword Review's INDIES Book of the Year Award, Religion In Theological Territories, David Bentley Hart, one of America's most eminent contemporary writers on religion, reflects on the state of theology "at the borders" of other fields of discourse--metaphysics, philosophy of mind, science, the arts, ethics, and biblical hermeneutics in particular. The book advances many of Hart's larger theological projects, developing and deepening numerous dimensions of his previous work. Theological Territories constitutes something of a manifesto regarding the manner in which theology should engage other fields of concern and scholarship. The essays are divided into five sections on the nature of theology, the relations between theology and science, the connections between gospel and culture, literary representations of and engagements with transcendence, and the New Testament. Hart responds to influential books, theologians, philosophers, and poets, including Rowan Williams, Jean-Luc Marion, Toma?s Hali?k, Sergei Bulgakov, Jennifer Newsome Martin, and David Jones, among others. The twenty-six chapters are drawn from live addresses delivered in various settings. Most of the material has never been printed before, and those parts that have appear here in expanded form. Throughout, these essays show how Hart's mind works with the academic veneer of more formal pieces stripped away. The book will appeal to both academic and non-academic readers interested in the place of theology in the modern world. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

This collection of essays, drawn from live addresses delivered in various settings, is divided into five sections. He focuses on how theology intersects with other fields, including science, culture, literature, and philosophy. Most of the essays take the form of critiques of other influential works.
One of the most interesting essays takes on the problem of evil. Did God create evil or just allow it?
Hart’s writing style can be pretentious and tendentious, and he seems loathe to express himself tersely when a plethora of words could serve his cause, thus, unfortunately, obfuscating his points. He also is wont to pontificate on just about every aspect of Protestant and Hindu religions, whether or not he has a good knowledge or understanding of them.
Nevertheless, the book serves up plenty of food for thought, and makes an excellent choice for book clubs amenable to discussing deep, complicated works.
