represents an influential position which must be taken into
account.' - Religion
'An audacious manifesto.' - Modern Review
'In Post-Secular Philosophy Phillip Blond has convened an
impressive array of contemporary theologians and philosophers ...
it is a submission of philosophy to theology and the denial of the
secular lie, in an attempt to address some of the most pressing
theological and philosophical questions of our times, that make
this collection so important and take us into the post-secular.
This book is to be warmly commended to all who seek to engage with
a confident, challenging and radically orthodox philosophical
theology.' - Affirming Catholicism
'Don't miss out on the excellent fare on offer here.' - Reviews in
Religion and Theology'
'Post-secular Philosphy represents a challenge for theological
thinking as well as an important phenomenon for the academic study
of religion'
'Post-Secular Philosophy crystallises the emergence of Cambridge
Radical Orthodoxy and provides a polemical thrust for its
adherents'
Each contributor to the volume treats an important figure of modern
or contemporary Continental philosophy, with every major thinker
from Descartes to Irigaray represented'
'Post-Secular Philosophy is an important collection dealing with
powerful issues and thinkers, and the standpoint of the editor and
many of the contributors represents an influential postion which
must ne taken into account as a religious expression in our
postmodern world'
'Despite the frequently heralded demise of mainstream Christianity,
and particularly of Anglicanism, theology in England has never been
so challenging this century as it is now. Post-Secular Philosophy
contends that the post-modernist unmasking of the modern man of
rationalist humanism need not yield to the playful nihilism that
comes from Nietzsche, Heidegger and Derrida; rather it is time to
tell the old, old story, in all its premodernity, about our being
the gift of a transcendent source which grants all reality as
truth, goodness and beauty ... By any standards this is a brillint
collection.' - New Blackfriars
'In his introduction Blond begins to delineate a possible
theological realism, drawing in particular on the late work of
Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Here, more than anywhere else, the
centrality to radical orthodoxy of a reconception of the bodily and
the material becomes appealingly evident ... Blond's
phenomenological path offers the nearest thing to an independent
philosophical grounding currently available to radical orthodoxy
... Whatever the next step (in radical orthodoxy) turns out to be,
it should be awaited with real interest, and not only by
theologians.' - Simon Jarvis, Textual Practice
'My advice to others: don't miss out on the excellent fare on offer
here,.' - Steve Else, University of Birmingham
