I just picked up this collection of essays by Derrida, Milbank, Ward, Kearney and others. , “Questioning God” edited by Caputo, Dooley and Scanlon.
What does it mean to Forgive in a postmodern age? If forGIVEness is a gift as the word might suggest, than who receives that gift? Only those who repent? Only those who earn it? If so does that make forgiveness an economy of exchange?
The essays move the reader beyond the parameters of metaphysical reason and modernist rationality as it attempts to think through the questions of God and forgiveness in a pomo context.
Not light reading but it will make you think.
Peace, dwight
questioning God
