On Religion

In a thoroughly updated second edition of his popular and engaging book John D. Caputo revisits Augustineâs ancient question what do I love when I love my God? and presses it into service in the post-modern world. Accessible but without compromising the big ideas he raises the question of what religion means today in the face of widespread religious violence after 9/11 of spreading secularization the dazzling discoveries of contemporary cosmology and the eerie advent of the post-human world. All along sculpting the idea of a post-modern post-secular religion without religion which turns on the mystical element of our lives he wonders what the future of traditional religion will be or whether it even has one. On Religion will fascinate anyone interested in the challenges religion faces in the contemporary world. It offers an ideal starting point from which undergraduate and postgraduate students teachers and lecturers can explore religion and philosophy today. . Language: English
