This book gathers the European reception of John. D. Caputo's proposal for a radical theology of our time. Philosophers and theologians from within Europe respond to Caputo's attempt to configure a less rigid, less dogmatic form of religion. These scholars, in turn, receive responses by Caputo. This volume so aims to strengthen the development of radical theology in Europe and abroad.
Martin Koci is a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Philosophy at the University of Vienna. Joeri Schrijvers is extraordinary professor of the School of Philosophy at North-West University Potchefstroom.
