Cross and Cosmos

A Theology of Difficult Glory

John D. Caputo stretches his project as a radical theologian to new limits in this groundbreaking book. Mapping out his summative theological position, he identifies with Martin Luther to take on notions of the hidden god, the theology of the cross, confessional theology, and natural theology. Caputo also confronts the dark side of the cross with its correlation to lynching and racial and sexual discrimination. Caputo is clear that he is not writing as any kind of orthodox Lutheran but is instead engaging with a radical view of theology, cosmology, and poetics of the cross. Readers will recognize Caputo's signature themes—hermeneutics, deconstruction, weakness, and the call—as well as his unique voice as he writes about moral life and our strivings for joy against contemporary society and politics.

Reviews

"This work will be eagerly awaited and immediately read byJohnD.Caputo's many followers. They will be looking for him to fill out the "big picture" which makes manifest for the first time all the parts and pieces he has contributed to the theological project he launched early in the previous decade."—Carl Raschke, author of Postmodernism and the Revolution in Religious Theory

"John D. Caputo brings Luther and cosmology into dialogue with radical theological movements that have their point of departure in deconstruction and that are therefore often not directly concerned with either cross or cosmos. Caputo is always distinctive."—George Pattison, author of Eternal God/Saving Time

"Recommended."—Choice

"Having read many of Caputo's books over the last twenty years, I can safely say that Cross and Cosmos is another rich and rewarding text."—John Reader, William Temple Foundation, Rochdale, and University of Worcester, Modern Believing
