Theology after Ricoeur

by Dan R. Stiver

"In this volume Dan Stiver investigates the implications of Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutical philosophy for a genuine postmodern theology. Stiver not only provides a comprehensive interpretation of Ricoeur but also applies Ricoeur's hermeneutical theory to biblical interpretation and theology. Stiver is careful to situate Ricoeur's contributions in the Yale-Chicago debate and shows how Ricoeur's textual theory provides an alternative to both George Lindbeck, on the one hand, and deconstruction, on the other."--BOOK JACKET.
