The essays in this new book from John Milbank range over the entire field of theology and both extend and enrich the theological perspective underlying his earlier "Theology and Social Theory." In them Milbank provides a theological account of language and suggests that this offers a unique construal of the 'meaning of meaning.' He then applies this account across a wide range of theological topics, offering us a new theology which is orthodox in a suprising and disturbing way. Beyond the sterile alternatives of liberalism and a 'neo-orthodoxy' grown mechanical, Milbank suggests that the incarnate divine word is always mediated by human discourses, yet registers its presence by transfiguring these discourses down to the very roots. 298 page softcover from Blackwell Publishing.

The essays are focused around the theme of a theological approach to language, and offer a richly textured and broad ranging inquiry which will contribute to a variety of contemporary debates.
