Reviews

"Elegant and incisive, God after Metaphysics engages the 'theological turn' of contemporary phenomenology at a deeper, richer, and more satisfying level than many recent books. Manoussakis is entirely right to stress the importance of what it means to be 'in relations with God' and to see this as essential to theology today. Well grounded in patristics, Manoussakis shows us that the future of theology and its past are not in contradiction, and must be thought together." Kevin Hart, University of Notre Dame "I have not seen anything in breadth, importance, and intensity like [Manoussakis's] conception of God after metaphysics in all the years I have been teaching at the Sorbonne and the University of Chicago!"
