Caputo\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003ePeter Rollins\u003c\/b\u003e (Foreword by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn D. Caputo has a long career as one of the preeminent postmodern philosophers in America. The author of such books as \u003cb\u003eRadical Hermeneutics\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eThe Weakness of God\u003c\/b\u003e, Caputo now reflects on his spiritual journey from a Catholic altar boy in 1950s Philadelphia to a philosopher after the death of God. Part spiritual autobiography, part homily on what he calls the nihilism of grace, \u003cb\u003eHoping Against Hope\u003c\/b\u003e calls believers and nonbelievers alike to participate in the praxis of the kingdom of God, which Caputo says we must pursue without why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaputos conversation partners in this volume include Lyotard, Derrida, and Hegel, but also earlier versions of himself: Jackie, a young altar boy, and Brother Paul, a novice in a religious order. Caputo traces his own journey from faith through skepticism to hope after the death of God. In the end, Caputo doesnt want to do away with religion; he wants to redeem religion and to reinvent religion for a postmodern time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42118612779143,"sku":"9781451499155","price":30.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/6fcb9f47a9bc3e8b5db99603073e62d2.webp?v=1732534861","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/hoping-against-hope-confessions-of-a-postmodern-pilgrim-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
