It has long been assumed that the more modern we become, the less
religious we will be, yet a recent resurgence in faith has challenged
the validity of this belief. In these original essays and interviews,
leading hermeneutical philosophers and postmodern theorists John D.
Caputo and Gianni Vattimo engage with each other's past and present work
on the subject and reflect on our transition from secularism to
postsecularism. Caputo and Vattimo explore the changes, distortions, and
reforms that are a part of our postmodern faith and the forces shaping
the religious imagination today. Incisively and imaginatively connecting
their argument to issues ranging from terrorism to fanaticism and from
politics to media and culture, these thinkers continue to reinvent the
field of hermeneutic philosophy with wit, grace, and compassion.
