"A superb and groundbreaking collection featuring the brightest scholars in the continental
philosophy of religion. The book deals with a feast of topics, and will become indispensable the
moment it is published."
– Kenneth Surin, Professor of Literature and Professor of Religion and Critical Theory, Duke
University
"Every once in a while, a collection of essays comes along that does not merely contribute to a
field, but redraws its boundaries, repositions it in unforeseen ways. This is one such collection.
The burgeoning work of ‘continental philosophy of religion’ is both employed and interrogated to
startling effect. This is no tired and worn treadmill of ideas, but a disciplined armoury and an
unruly intervention. The editors and authors display a well-won confidence in philosophy at the
limit. They are not afraid to take on the sacred cows of orthodoxy or the modish assumptions of
the recent ‘turn to religion’ in continental thinking. Fascinating new insights into the modern
canon sit alongside adventurous forays into cutting edge speculative philosophy and non-
philosophy (the editors’ introduction is worth the admission price alone). Demanding,
provocative and groundbreaking, this is required reading for anyone who wants to know what
matters in philosophy of religion today."
– Steven Shakespeare, Lecturer in Philosophy, Liverpool Hope University and Co-Facilitator of
the Association for Continental Philosophy of Religion.
