The Cambridge Companion to Postmodern Theology

'This much-needed volume is a valuable guide through the often-murky waters of postmodern theology.' Calvin Theological Journal

'… arguably the most significant collection … It gathers together contributions from leading Christian theologians and philosophers of religion - including Venhoozer himself, Graham Ward and Mary McClintock Fulkerson - to consider the challenges and opportunities offered by postmodernity to theology … This collection seems to be predominantly aimed at students of theology and the philosophy of religion … but there is much here to think about for anyone working in the fields of continental philosophy of religion and theology … Graham Ward's 'Deconstructive Theologies' offers a characteristically penetrating account of the promise and threat of deconstruction for theology … Mary McClintock Fulkerson is given the unenviable task of surveying Feminist theologies in one short essay but she effortlessly meets it in a clear and constructive account which will serve as an excellent introduction to students entering this rich and varied field for the first time … Kevin Vanhoozer's own excellent contribution explores the impact of postmodern thought and Derridean deconstruction in particular on scriptural exigesis … I hope it goes without saying that Postmodern Theology is an extremely significant contribution and - despite my reservations - arguably the only really indispensable publication in the field for teachers and students this year.'
