- Summary
- "Gavin Hyman explores in depth two antithetical schools of postmodern theology - the "radical orthodoxy" of John Milbank and the "nihilist textualism" of Don Cupitt. Hyman critiques Milbank's influential project from a postmodern perspective and then points out the major difficulties with Cupitt's approach. Finally, he explores the work of Mark C. Taylor and Michel de Certeau to articulate a "third way" that leads beyond the reponses of both Cupitt and Milbank."--BOOK JACKET.
