Radical Theology

Theology

“Ingolf U. Dalferth's Radical Theology is an independent outline of hermeneutical theology. He recalls the radical insights of Bultmann and Heidegger, which are today in danger of being forgotten to the detriment of theology. Dalferth shows a way out of the dead end into which the theological mainstream is moving. The path shown by Dalferth, goes beyond the analysis of religion as a phenomenon of human culture, to arrive at theological knowledge. Thus, what is actually at issue in theology is clarified: not a hermeneutics of religion, but the understanding of God, not the 'idea of God,' but God himself. A relevant, and for precisely that reason, a necessary book.”
