Joeri Schrijver and Martin Koci (eds.), The European Reception of John D. Caputo: Radicalising Theology. Lexington Books, 2022.

Academic debates, like bread, can quickly become stale if not infused with new ingredients. By resituating John D. Caputo’s work and legacy within a European context, this volume brings much needed vitality to postmodern philosophy of religion and envisions exciting directions for its future. Including disciples and critics of radical theology among its contributors, the volume demonstrates both the continuing relevance of Caputo’s questions for the field and also the productive implications of his proposals. This book is a game changer because it reminds us of why the game matters so much in the first place.–J. Aaron Simmons, Furman University

Kevin Hart, University of Virginia

This book gathers the European reception of John. D. Caputo’s proposal for a radical theology of our time. Philosophers and theologians from within Europe respond to Caputo’s attempt to configure a less rigid, less dogmatic form of religion. These scholars, in turn, receive responses by Caputo. This volume so aims to strengthen the development of radical theology in Europe and abroad.
