Are postmodern philosophy and Christian thought so diametrically opposed that "never the twain shall meet"? Or are various postmodern philosophies, in spite of their secular provenance, open to religious appropriation? From the Christian side, it is all too easy to see postmodern philosophy as nothing but an implacable enemy, while those with postmodern sympathies see Christianity as the embodiment of the hegemony which it so forcefully opposes. Thinkers from Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish perspectives engage Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida, and Foucault in explorations of the epistemological, theological, literary, ethical, and social issues provoked by bringing postmodern philosophy into dialogue with Christian thought. The thirteen lively, original essays awaken secular postmodernisms and various modes of Christian thinking from their ideological complacency. An open space for passionate dialogue emerges from conversations that powerfully engage both intellectual and religious points of view. Contributors include: Steven Bouma-Prediger, John D.
