N2  - "Kearney is one of the most exciting thinkers in the English-speaking                world of continental philosophy.... and [he] joins hands with its fundamental                project, asking the question 'what'or who'comes after the God of metaphysics?'" --                John D. CaputoEngaging some of the most urgent issues in the                philosophy of religion today, in this lively book Richard Kearney proposes that                instead of thinking of God as 'actual,' God might best be thought of as the                possibility of the impossible. By pulling away from biblical perceptions of God and                breaking with dominant theological traditions, Kearney draws on the work of Ricoeur,                Levinas, Derrida, Heidegger, and others to provide a surprising and original answer                to who or what God might be. For Kearney, the intersecting dimensions of                impossibility propel religious experience and faith in new directions, notably                toward views of God that are unforeseeable, unprogrammable, and uncertain. Important                themes such as the phenomenology of the persona, the meaning of the unity of God,                God and desire, notions of existence and différance, and faith in philosophy are                taken up in this penetrating and original work. Richard Kearney                is Professor of Philosophy at Boston College and University College, Dublin. He is                author of many books on modern philosophy and culture, including Dialogues with                Contemporary Continental Thinkers, The Wake of Imagination, and The Poetics of                Modernity
