Description: About this Item The item is a book Paperback The Author Name is John D. Caputo The Title is The Weakness of God : A Theology of the Event Condition New Other Comments Pages Count - 376. Category - Religion Product Description - Applying an ever more radical hermeneutics including Husserlian and Heideggerian phenomenology, Derridian deconstruction, and feminism, John D. Caputo breaks down the name of God in this irrepressible book. Instead of looking at God as merely a name, Caputo views it as an event, or what the name conjures or promises in the future. For Caputo, the event exposes God as weak, unstable, and barely functional. While this view of God flies in the face of most religions and philosophies, it also puts up a serious challenge to fundamental tenets of theology and ontology. Along the way, Caputo's readings of the New Testament, especially of Paul's view of the Kingdom of God, help to support the "weak force" theory. This penetrating work cuts to the core of issues and questions-What is the nature of God What is the nature of being What is the relationship between God and being What is the meaning of forgiveness, faith, piety, or transcendence-that define the terrain of contemporary philosophy of religion.
