The Predicament of Postmodern Theology: Radical Orthodoxy or Nihilist Textualism?

Gavin Hyman explores in depth two antithetical schools of postmodern theology--the ＂radical orthodoxy＂ of John Milbank and the ＂nihilist textualism＂ of Don Cupitt. Hyman critiques Milbank’s influential project from a postmodern perspective, and then points out the major difficulties with Cupitt’s approach. Finally, he explores the work of Mark C. Taylor and Michael de Certeau to articulate a ＂third way＂ that leads beyond the responses of both Cupitt and Milbank.
