What People are Saying About This

Charles Taylor

Radical Orthodoxy is an immensely stimulating collection. Almost every paper makes you want to stop and work through the fresh and suggestive insights it contains.

Editorial Reviews

This collection of essays by 12 authors sets out to do no less than reinvent theology according to its traditional revelations and insights in light of--and occasionally despite--current movements in humanism and postmodernism. While the reliance on a firm knowledge of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Hegel, and others may make the essays quite daunting to nonacademic readers, they are valuable, surprising, and stimulating. Highly recommended for collections in religious studies.

Library Journal

'A vigorous collection of essays.' - Network

'A stimulating and provocative read ... I can firmly predict that the term, the 'school' and the ideas associated with it will become increasingly important.' - Regent's Reviews

'strongly recommmended for theology students, and students in Arts faculties in secular universities' - AD 2000

'Radical orthodoxy is a force to be reckoned with and Radical Orthodoxy: A New Theology is not a book that any academic theologian or philosopher can afford to ignore.' - Deane Baker, Journal of Theology for Southern Africa, March 2001.

'While conceived independently of Fides at Ratio, Pope John Paul's recent encyclical on modern philosophy, these essays share much of his vision of how radical Christian thinkers need to be to expose the malaise of our age.' - Fergus Kerr, The Tablet

'... this collection of essays is a good place to start to introduce oneself to the ideas of a new theological movement ...' - A. Carroll, Theologie und Philosophie
