This is the finest work of speculative theology to appear on any topic in a long while. Beautifully straitened by Catholic doctrine, relentlessly rigorous in argument, Decreation brings an abundance of light to both familiar topics in eschatology and some hardly touched in Christianity’s long history of reflection on the last things. At a time when such work has practically vanished, Paul Griffiths confronts us anew with the ancient challenge of speculative theology: to see the truths upon which Christians must finally stake their lives.
(Bruce D. Marshall, Lehman Professor of Christian Doctrine, Southern Methodist University)At once deeply traditional and strikingly novel, Griffiths' exploration of ‘last things’ is rigorous in its argumentation and unafraid to overturn some of the favored positions of modern theologians in its quest for an eschatology that is adequate to scripture and tradition and yet takes account of contemporary theological and philosophical questions and insights.
(Frederick Christian Bauerschmidt, Professor of Theology, Loyola University Maryland)Decreation sets forth a theology of creation, redemption, and the refusal of redemption that is without equal in terms of erudition, elegance, and brilliant engagement with historically significant Christian teaching and doctrine.
(Charles Taliaferro, Professor and Chair, Department of Philosophy, St. Olaf College)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
