Caputo's slim treatise is insight, erudite, and full of genuine wit and humor. Not coming from a philosophical background, I found it helpful that Caputo provided a philosophical and historical context for his ideas and the different conceptions of religion pre- and post-enlightenment. Admittedly I'm drawn to any theologian who advocates for truth (with a lowercase "t") and who is also still engaged and intent on being curious and in the throes of desire for life. ( ) Caputo is so extremely articulate and engaging in his interaction with theology and post-modernism. "What do I love when I love my God?" is his central question and at the same time his central theological treatise, that we are the questions that we ask, and this question holds the most significant meaning of any questions. While I am not as post-modern in my theology as Caputo, I appreciate the depth and tone Caputo writes in, and am encouraged by a theology that highlights love of God and Justice as central to 'true' faith. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

In a thoroughly updated second edition of his popular and engaging book, John D. Caputo revisits Augustine's ancient question "what do I love when I love my God?" and presses it into service in the post-modern world. Accessible but without compromising the big ideas, he raises the question of what religion means today in the face of widespread religious violence after 9/11, of spreading secularization, the dazzling discoveries of contemporary cosmology, and the eerie advent of the "post-human" world. All along sculpting the idea of a post-modern, post-secular "religion without religion," which turns on the "mystical element" of our lives, he wonders what the future of traditional religion will be, or whether it even has one. On Religion will fascinate anyone interested in the challenges religion faces in the contemporary world. It offers an ideal starting point from which undergraduate and postgraduate students, teachers, and lecturers can explore religion and philosophy today. No library descriptions found. |
