Unfinished God
Eighteen essays by a team of distinguished philosophers and theologians examine and develop Ray L. Hart's key contributions to theology.
Ray L. Hart is one of the most radical and creative theologians active in contemporary speculative philosophical theology. Breaking on the scene with his immensely influential Unfinished Man in 1968, he published his magnum opus, God Being Nothing, in 2015.
This volume advances critical consideration of Hart's theological thought. The nature of time, the meaning of personhood, the being of God, and the role of the imagination in Hart's work are discussed with clarity and erudition. Hart's deep rootedness in modern speculative theology, from Boehme to Schelling, comes to the fore. The wide scope and profound depth of Hart's thought have never been more evident.
