At the heart of the current surge of interest in religion among                  contemporary Continental philosophers stands Augustine's Confessions. With Derrida's                  Circumfession constantly in the background, this volume takes up the provocative                  readings of Augustine by Heidegger, Lyotard, Arendt, and Ricoeur. Derrida himself                  presides over and comments on essays by major Continental philosophers and                  internationally recognized Augustine scholars. While studies on and about Augustine                  as a philosopher abound, none approach his work from such a uniquely postmodern                  point of view, showing both the continuing relevance of Augustine and the religious                  resonances within postmodernism. Posed at the intersection of philosophy, theology,                  and religious studies, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of                  Augustine as well as those interested in the invigorating discussion between                  philosophy, religion, and postmodernism.Contributors include                  Geoffrey Bennington, Philippe Capelle, John D.
