A Theologian’s Guide to Heidegger
Ebook
A Theologian's Guide to Heidegger provides a uniquely theological introduction to the philosophy of Martin Heidegger, by focusing on not just the relationship between Heidegger and theology, or even the nature of the discourse that must occur between theological concerns and Heidegger's philosophical errands, but by precisely exploring how theology can use Heidegger's philosophy as a means of outlining the scope and task of postmodern theology. To do this, especially with the postmodern theologian in mind, this book considers the general relationship between Heidegger and theology, how Heidegger can be read theologically, while justifying why Heidegger must be read this way and defining the role that Heidegger must take in postmodern theology. This includes a careful consideration of Heidegger's early theological roots from Freiburg to Marburg by examining the content of Heidegger's lesser-known theologically-minded seminars, lectures, and talks.
“This a welcome, fresh, insightful, and remarkably clear account
of how Heidegger’s philosophical quest for the meaning of Being
reshaped that of Christian theological thinking. Focusing on four
theologians, famed Protestant as well as Roman Catholic (Rudolf
Bultmann, John Macquarrie , Paul Tillich, and Karl Rahner), Woodson
offers a must-read orientation to existential theology and its
ongoing future.”
