Caputo has a long career as one of the preeminent postmodern philosophers in America. The author of such books as \u003cb\u003eRadical Hermeneutics\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eThe Weakness of God\u003c\/b\u003e, Caputo now reflects on his spiritual journey from a Catholic altar boy in 1950s Philadelphia to a philosopher after the death of God. Part spiritual autobiography, part homily on what he calls the nihilism of grace, \u003cb\u003eHoping Against Hope\u003c\/b\u003e calls believers and nonbelievers alike to participate in the praxis of the kingdom of God, which Caputo says we must pursue without why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaputos conversation partners in this volume include Lyotard, Derrida, and Hegel, but also earlier versions of himself: Jackie, a young altar boy, and Brother Paul, a novice in a religious order. Caputo traces his own journey from faith through skepticism to hope after the death of God. In the end, Caputo doesnt want to do away with religion; he wants to redeem religion and to reinvent religion for a postmodern time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John D.
