“God Being Nothing reveals Hart’s creative mind at work fashioning an alternative to confessional theologies and pallid forms of theological liberalism—his intelligence is obvious, his mastery of the complex material even more so. Bringing us both back to a moment in theology before the deconstructive turn and forward with an anchoring realism in language, God Being Nothing is a much anticipated and eminently readable book.”
— Cyril O’Regan, University of Notre Dame
“A deeply original, meticulously written, and monumentally structured work. Hart, already a name to be reckoned with, is reviving theological language for metatheological use, and in doing so, he steps into an important niche that many will be happy to see filled.”
— Jack Miles, author of God: A Biography
“In this brilliant speculative work, Hart not only provides a new method for philosophical theology but a new and daring set of readings of the major issues of contemporary Christian theology and philosophy of religion, from God to humankind. Inspired by his principal speculative mentors, Jakob Böhme and Friedrich Schelling, Hart develops the daring explorations of his earlier epoch-making work, Unfinished Man and the Imagination, in a manner that challenges every serious philosopher and theologian: a major work that restores speculative thought to its rightful place in contemporary Christian theology.”
— David Tracy, University of Chicago Divinity School
“Daring. . . . Those interested in speculative theologies will find it immensely satisfying. . . . Recommended.”
