Summary
"Has the passing of the old God paved the way for a new kind of religious project, a more responsible way to seek sound, and love the things we call divine? Has the suspension of dogmatic certainties and presumptions opened a space in which we can encounter religious wonder anew? Situated at the split between theism and atheism, we now have the opportunity to respond in deeper, freer ways to things we cannot fathom or prove." "Distinguished philosopher Richard Kearney calls this condition ana-theos, or God after God - a moment of creative "not knowing" that signifies a break with former sure ties and invites us to forge new meanings from the most ancient of wisdoms. Anatheism refers to an inaugural event that lies at the heart of every great religion, a wager between hospitality and hostility to the stranger, the other - the sense of something "more." By analyzing the roots of our own anatheistic moment Kearney shows not only how a return to God is possible for those who seek it but also how a more liberating faith can be born."--BOOK JACKET.
