John D. Caputo stretches his project as a radical theologian to new
limits in this groundbreaking book. Mapping out his summative
theological position, he identifies with Martin Luther to take on
notions of the hidden god, the theology of the cross, confessional
theology, and natural theology. Caputo also confronts the dark side of
the cross with its correlation to lynching and racial and sexual
discrimination. Caputo is clear that he is not writing as any kind of
orthodox Lutheran but is instead engaging with a radical view of
theology, cosmology, and poetics of the cross. Readers will recognize
Caputo's signature themes—hermeneutics, deconstruction, weakness,
and the call—as well as his unique voice as he writes about moral
life and our strivings for joy against contemporary society and
politics.
