A sustained reflection on postmodernism's theological turn. The volume's main contribution is an insight into some of the main ways in which contemporary French philosophers have not only grappled with religious phenomena and categories, but have also probed the porous boundary between the sacred and the secular [...] It offers an impressive panorama of the multiples ways in which religious and theological traditions have been grappled with by an important group of modern thinkers. -- Michael C. Behrent, Appalachian State University. * H-France Review Vol.14 *
This volume can serve as an expansive introduction to contemporary French thought. -- Thomas A Graves, Cedarville University, US * Theological Book Review *
