| Summary: | Thomasaltizer has been a herald of our cultural and theological horizons for some five decades now. His prophetic voice is likely to be discovered again and again, and this ‘critical companion’—including his response to each contributor—is an excellent place for serious readers of Altizer, new and old, to gather. As each brief chapter is book-length in magnitude and density, all I can do is locate each in what is surely an overly simple matrix: (1) those who develop theological implications in continuity with Altizer, (2) those who dissent from aspects of his thought and (3) those who may ‘go beyond’ Altizer, especially in regard to ethics and literature., (1) Brian Schroeder's Preface unfolds the multiple entendre of the title. |
