New Faculty Book: After Method

Oct 26, 2023

After Method: queer grace, conceptual design, and the possibility of theology by Hanna Reichel is now part of the Wright Library collection.

From the publisher's summary:

"After Method assumes the impossibility of doing theology right-and moves beyond it. Organized as a conversation in two voices--with systematic-theological commitments represented by Karl Barth and constructive-theological commitments represented by Marcella Althaus-Reid--this book calls the redemptive potential of any methodological program into question. Indeed, the search for a full and complete theological account of reality has only further fragmented theological discourse. Thus, Hanna Reichel argues that method cannot 'save' us--but that does not mean that we cannot do better. After Method harnesses the best insights systematic and constructive theologies have to offer in their mutual critique and gestures toward a 'better' theology."
