Postmodern Theory and Biblical Theology by Brian D Ingraffia
This book explores the relationship between postmodernism and Christianity. Whereas deconstructionists claim all religious discourses can be radically undermined, Ingraffia argues that the version of Christianity constructed by Nietzsche, Heidegger and especially Derrida ignores Christianity's unique ontological status. This truth, Ingraffia claims, is an unacknowledged influence on leading postmodernist thinkers, thereby demonstrating the priority of the Judaeo-Christian tradition over secular attempts to displace it.
'This is a quite extraordinary book: polemical and powerfully original, but also straightforwardly writtenI have not read any other book that combines in anything like the way Brian Ingraffia does the three distinct but overlapping fields of postmodern theory, biblical theology and modern metaphysics.' J. Hillis-Miller
