Sommario/riassunto: | Theology usually appears to us to be dogmatic, judgmental condescending, maybe therapeutic, or perhaps downright fantastical - but seldom enticing. 'Divine Enticement' takes as its starting point that the meanings of theological concepts are not so much logical, truth-valued propositions - affirmative or negative - as they are provocations and evocations. Thus it argues for the seductiveness of both theology and its subject - for, in fact, infinite seduction and enticement as the very sense of theological query. |
