Titles By Hue Woodson
"With in-depth historical analysis of Martin Heidegger's influence on four eminent modern theologians, Hue Woodson reveals with fascinating biographical detail the diverse ways they employed Heidegger's philosophy for their own theological purposes, pursuing different 'pathmarks' from Heidegger to one of the four dimensions of the Wesleyan Quadrilateral. Woodson's well-researched, clearly written book is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in comparative investigations of various Heideggerian trajectories for contemporary constructive theology."
--David J. Gouwens, Brite Divinity School
Hue Woodson is Assistant Professor of English at Tarrant County College, Northwest Campus, in Fort Worth, Texas.
"Woodson offers us a bold adventure tracking the meaning of existential theology, an elusive shape shifter whose initial themes in Christian antiquity evolved into famed French, German, and Russian modern thinkers and on to social-political correctives and leading post-humanist initiatives today. Readers of theology, philosophy, ethics, or cultural studies find here an invaluable guide."
--James O. Duke, Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University
"Existential Theology: An Introduction is an important overview and resource, aptly describing the intersection of a specifically Christian humanism, philosophy, and existentialism. Woodson's critical and constructive review of influential thinkers and theologians, including a host of active voices from Katie Cannon to Slavoj Žižek, provides a unique and fruitful perspective on what constitutes existential theology and the pervasiveness and importance of its central concerns: the being of God and the being of humanity."
--Peter L. Jones, Loyola University Chicago
Given the perpetual problem of the historical Jesus, there remains an ongoing posing of the question to and a continuous seeking of the meaningfulness of Christology. From the earliest reckoning with the relationship between Jesus of Nazareth and the Christ of faith, what it means to do Christology today remains at the methodological center of the task and scope of every systematic theology. Whether giving an account of Albert Schweitzer’s bringing an end to the quest for the historical Jesus in 1906, or attending to Rudolf Bultmann’s period of no quest culminating with his demythologization project in the 1940s, how we still think of Christology as a matter of questions and concerns with meaning speaks to an unavoidable philosophizing of Christology. In this way, The Philosophy of Christology offers both a particular history of Christology in conjunction with a particular philosophy of Christology, which assesses the theological contributions by a group of Bultmannians following Bultmann in the 1950s and 1960s up to what can be reimagined by repurposing Jacques Derrida’s philosophical question into the meaning of love in 2002.
"This a welcome, fresh, insightful, and remarkably clear account of how Heidegger's philosophical quest for the meaning of Being reshaped that of Christian theological thinking. Focusing on four theologians, famed Protestant as well as Roman Catholic (Rudolf Bultmann, John Macquarrie , Paul Tillich, and Karl Rahner), Woodson offers a must-read orientation to existential theology and its ongoing future."
