God After Sovereignty 4 w/ Tim Burnette

Episode 41 - Today is the third interview of our series about God After Sovereignty, with the one who inspired the title, and Damon's favorite theologian, John Caputo! Caputo is a hybrid philosopher/theologian who works in the area of radical theology. Prof. Caputo has spearheaded a notion he calls “weak theology,” by which he means a “poetics” of the “event” that is harbored in the name (of) God, or that “insists” in the name (of) “God,” a notion that depends upon a reworking of the notions of event in Derrida to theological ends.
