Description
After Writing provides a significant contribution to the growing genre of works that challenges modern and postmodern accounts of Christianity. Catherine Pickstock shows how Platonic philosophy did not assume a primacy of metaphysical presence, as had previously been thought, but rather a primacy of liturgical theory and practice.
The author also provides a significant rethinking of Christian understandings of language, temporal and bodily life, and notions of the presence of God by discussing Christian understandings of liturgical practice, especially in the Medieval and pre-Enlightenment era. Through a detailed reading of Plato's Phaedrus, the medieval Roman Rite, and a discussion of the theology of the Eucharist, the book indicates directions for the restoration of the liturgical order.
This book will be required reading for all systematic and philosophical theologians and their students, in addition to being of great interest to liturgists, historians, and linguists. The ideas presented in the book are both significant in themselves and of great use at a teaching level.

Powers and Submissions
In this book, Sarah Coakley confronts a central paradox of theological feminism—what she terms 'the paradox of power and vulnerability'. Whilst gender theory has in recent years given an increasingly nuanced account of the worldly 'powers' that serve to stifle human flourishing, feminist theology has been loath to acknowledge that form of surrender to divine 'power' which can alone sustain...Paperback$9999Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -

These Three are One
The doctrine of the Trinity has recently been rescued from relative obscurity in Christian theology, but its profound implications have not yet been fully realised.
