Reviews

Cornel West:
The radical theology of the distinguished visionary thinker John Caputo is a great breath of fresh air in our claustrophobic and catastrophic time. He goes to the deep roots—the inner disturbance and generative inflection—of our existential crisis and political lockjaw. Caputo’s powerful prophetic call flows from his philosophical subtleties and deep respect for religious traditions. His courageous voice is timely for us all!
