"Caputo's major and tremulous work of theopoetics is inspired yet haunted by the name "God," a "focus imaginarius of the apophatic imaginary." While charting with his customary lucidity a vast course through thinkers like Aquinas, Luther, Meister Eckhart, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Tillich, and Derrida, Caputo also devotes considerable attention to Schelling, the apophatic alter ego of Hegel. In so doing, Schelling returns from exile and contributes powerful resources to Caputo's unsettling of the theological imaginary."—Jason M. Wirth, Seattle University, and author of Schelling's Practice of the Wild
"Spooky, how Jack Caputo twists beyond theism and atheism into yet another adventure—impossibly lucid, luminous and ever darkly fun—into the abyss of unknowing. He does not light the way but writes it, drawing us into its glowing shadows, its apophatic philosophy, politics and practice. If there is no way out of this spectral "God", this "world without why," we may thank Specters of God for such haunting hospitality."—Catherine Keller, George T Cobb Professor of Constructive Theology, Drew University Theological School. Author of Cloud of the Impossible: Negative Theology and Planetary Entanglement
