<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>He presents revolutionary thinking in the face of changing theological concepts, from reformation to transformation, transcendence to immanence, messianism to metamorphosis, and from the proclamation of the death of God to the notion of God's plasticity.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Radical theology and political theology are terms that have gained a lot of currency among philosophers of religion today. In this visionary new book, Jeffrey W. Robbins explores the contemporary direction of these movements as he charts a course for their future. Robbins claims that radical theology is no longer bound by earlier thinking about God and that it must be conceived of as postsecular and postliberal. As he engages with themes of liberation, gender, and race, Robbins moves beyond the usual canon of death-of-God thinkers, thinking against them as much as with them. He presents revolutionary thinking in the face of changing theological concepts, from reformation to transformation, transcendence to immanence, messianism to metamorphosis, and from the proclamation of the death of God to the notion of God's plasticity.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Radical Theology successfully lays out the theoretical footing and philosophical heritage for radical theology in the same way that historical-critical scholarship has opened up new, entirely legitimate understandings of the message and person of Jesus.</p>-- "Ethics and Early Christianity"<br><br><p>This book is a refreshing antidote to much contemporary theological literature that reasserts traditional dogmas despite their lack of credibility and/or application to the human condition. It deserves to be taken seriously, and popularized, even if its premises and/or conclusions may be rejected. </p></p>-- "Heythrop Journal"<br><br><p>This is a creative and original addition to the literature on radical theology. . . . Highly recommended.</p>-- "Choice"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Jeffrey W.
