If the perplexed seek a guide, they can do no better than this excellent volume. It explores Derrida's engagements with religion across the entire span of his career and the vast range of his interests. Bringing together established voices and younger scholars, these essays highlight the complexity and ambiguity of Derrida's thought and accentuate robust disagreements rather than harmonious consensus.<b>-----Warren Breckman, <i>University of Pennsylvania</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br><strong>Edward Baring </strong>is Assistant Professor of Modern European Intellectual and Cultural History at Drew University.
