A Theologians Guide to Heidegger

A Theologians 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 Heideggers philosophical errands, but by precisely exploring how theology can use Heideggers 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 Heideggers early theological roots from Freiburg to Marburg by examining the content of Heideggers lesser-known theologically-minded seminars, lectures, and talks.
