This Companion provides readers with the definitive guide to theology and postmodernism, drawing on the work of those individuals who have made a distinctive contribution to the field, and whose work will be significant for the theologies written in the new millennium. Each essay is followed by a short account of the writer's previous work, enabling the reader to view the piece in context.
The collection is prefaced with an introduction that situates postmodern theology with respect to other forms of contemporary theology, such as liberalism and conservatism, and evaluates the cultural context in which postmodern theology can be viewed. The Companion is divided into four sections: Liberal Postmodern Theologies; Postmodern Biblical Theologies; Critical Liberal Theologies Informed by Postmodernism; and Radical Orthodoxy. Each section is introduced by an explanation of why specific theologians have been chosen and of the logic of their various projects and emphases.
