| Summary: | This paper examines works in two of the major streams of thought in contemporary Continental philosophy of religion and theology—theopoetics and political theology—that loosely hang together by two shared threads: philosopher-cum-(radical)theologian John D. Caputo and the question of how to live well with the Other. After examining each book in turn, I weave their thoughts together showing how both theopoetics and radical political theology have the same shared aim. This aim is, namely, to deconstruct harmful and outdated narratives about God that have created unjust political systems and relations with other religions, to in turn continually ‘make-true’ the democracy to-come. |
