A Contemporary Re-Definition of "God"
John Caputo is Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion Emeritus at Syracuse University and the David R. Cook Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Villanova University. He is a "radical" theologian.   From his website:  "Caputo treats "sacred" texts as a poetics of the human condition, or as a 'theo-poetics,' a poetics of the event harbored in the name of God."   In this conversation we discuss his book for the popular reader, The Folly of God:  A Theology of the Unconditional.    How to speak of God when God doesn't exist.   Don't miss his exciting spiritual autobiography, Hoping Against Hope:  Confessions of a Post-Modern Pilgrim.
