Summary: A true gem of thinking
Comment: R. Kearney proves with this volume that he is indeed l'enfant terrible of philosophy that everyone speaks about. I found his take on the God of the possible to be the most serious statement that philosophy of religion has uttered in this century. His vision of God is challenging, liberating and at times even moving. Although it has been published only recently, this book has already caused quite a sensation in both philosophical and theological circles and its contribution is yet far from been fully appreciated. Future generations of philosophers and religious thinkers will have to pour over its pages with profound admiration.

Rating: 5
Summary: A Very Relevant Read
Comment: If you are at all interested in the most up to date debates on the God question and philosophy then this book is for you. Kearney has been in constant dialogue (literally) with Marion, Derrida, Ricoeur, Kristeva and others for the past 20 years developing his special method of hermeneutics that attempts to find a middle path between the extremes of modernity and postmodernity. This book is a humble approach to the God question from a contemporary philosophical viewpoint. Although relatively technical throughout, I found it to be an exciting and stimulating read and essential for anyone who personally reflects upon the God question and wonders what the world's leading intellectuals have to say about it.

Rating: 1
Summary: Stupid
Comment: The book is thoroughly foolish and unpersuasive. If anything, all it accomplishes is that we should stick to the biblical concept of God and the universe even more firmly.
