I just started reading Michael Fishbane's new book of Theology, 'Sacred Attunement'. So far, its really great. Has anyone else read this, or any of his other works? He lives in Chicago so maybe ej knows him.
From the intro:
"This work is an attempt to "do" theology in a dark and disorienting time, a time sunk in the mire of modernity. Naivete is out of the question. The mirror of the world reflects back to us our willfull epistemologies, our suspicion of values, and the rank perversities of the human heart. Like Kafka, we prowl aimlessly around the debris of old Sinais, in a wasteland of thought. The tablets of despair are strewn everywhere. Old beginnings do not work; they are a dead end. Is theology even possible in such circumstances? And if possible, can it be done without denying the undeniable?"
