After the Death of God

It has long been assumed that the more modern we become, the lessreligious we will be. Yet a recent resurrection in faith has challenged thecertainty of this belief. In these original essays and interviews, leadinghermeneutical philosophers and postmodern theorists John D. Caputo and GianniVattimo engage with each other's past and present work on the subject and reflect onour transition from secularism to postsecularism.As two of thefigures who have contributed the most to the theoretical reflections on thecontemporary philosophical turn to religion, Caputo and Vattimo explore the changes,distortions, and reforms that are a part of our postmodern faith and the forcesshaping the religious imagination today. Incisively and imaginatively connectingtheir argument to issues ranging from terrorism to fanaticism and from politics tomedia and culture, these thinkers continue to reinvent the field of hermeneuticphilosophy with wit, grace, and passion.
