"""From her dual competence in theology and philosophy, Maureen Junker-Kenny analyses with great acuity the premises and conclusions of J�rgen Habermas's major work of tracing the origins of postmetaphysical thinking in the interaction between ""faith"" and ""knowledge"". Indispensable for assessing the decisive turns in this relationship, the alternative readings she supplies from biblical studies and theology make for an exciting and innovative study."" Herta Nagl-Docekal, Professor em. of Philosophy, University of Vienna ""Prof. Junker-Kenny's new book puts Habermas's encyclopedic Auch eine Geschichte der Philosophie in the context of the most recent debates in theology, as it also explains from a theologian's perspective what is vital, revealing and challenging in Habermas's new magnum opus. Her work may be one of the fi rst book length treatments of Habermas's contribution to the ceaseless dialogue between religion and philosophy, but it will without question continue to be indispensable as we sift through what his contribution means, entails and commands of us in our postsecular societies."" Eduardo Mendieta, Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University"
