Insistence of God

About this title

Review:

Caputo's Insistence of God is an excellent text that opens the way into new forms of theological thinking. He puts forward an argument that must be wrestled with and brings to light new avenues for both religious and theological thought. Caputo is not for the faint of heart as his style is, at times, trenchant; but, in the end, wrestling with his work makes one better on the other side. Source: Reviews in Religion and Theology

The Insistence of God is a tour de force of novel, provocative ideas expressed in Heideggerian, Derridean, and Deleuzian rhetoric. It reads like a manifesto for a new wave of Christian theologians who re-imagine theology under the name of theopoetics. Source: Bibliographia

[T]his is a valuable theological contribution for those with ears to hear. . . . Recommended. Source: Choice

In my life I have read no more stimulating book of theology. Buckle your seatbelt! Source: Dialog

Review:

For those allergic to theological certainty―whether of God’s existence or of God’s death―Caputo delivers storm-fresh relief: the theopoetics of God’s insistence. Author: Catherine Keller Source: Drew University
