Reviews
In this scintillating compilation of essays based on lectures-most published here for the first time-Eastern Orthodox scholar and cultural commentator Hart . . . examines the intersection of theology with other academic fields, including ethics, science, literature, and biblical hermeneutics. Whether conversing with theologian Rowan Williams on the healing purpose of tragedy, or meditating on 'the Problem of Evil' as laid out by Dostoyevsky, Hart's witty, erudite writing proves unsettling and invigorating. -Publishers Weekly The author of Theological Territories doesn't have much use for the way theology is usually expounded-in our present society as well as other times and places. . . . [Hart's] interests are wide and his reading is vast but his focus is on thinking-rethinking-about God. -Shepherd Express David Bentley Hart is among the most interesting and intellectually lively living theologians. Theological Territories shows, with vigor, what it's like to think like a theologian. -Paul J. Griffiths, author of Christian Flesh Theological Territories is a fine salmagundi that touches on most of Hart's betes noires-the idiocy of New Atheism, the incoherence of scientific naturalism, the monstrosity of capital punishment, the sheer wrongheadedness of a hundred other things, such as capitalism and bad stagings of Wagner. The man is a gadfly, bless him. -BookForum Theological Territories is an extremely diverse and yet substantial addition to David Bentley Hart's increasingly formidable body of theological writings, scarcely rivaled by anyone else within American theology. . . . Hart makes and develops several highly crucial arguments with great erudition, argumentative rigor, imaginative insight, and enormous panache. -John Milbank, author of The Politics of Virtue

Hart makes and develops several highly crucial arguments with great erudition, argumentative rigor, imaginative insight, and enormous panache. --John Milbank, professor emeritus, University of Nottingham David Bentley Hart is among the most interesting and intellectually lively living theologians. . . . This volume as a whole could be used, very effectively (in the hands of the right teacher), as a how-to manual: it shows, with vigor, what it is like to think as a theologian. The attentive reader, rightly guided, could learn by imitating what's done here, and that is a rare thing. --Paul J. Griffiths, author of Christian Flesh
