Written in tribute to one of the foremost Catholic theologians in the English-speaking world, the essays in The Promise of Critical Theology address the question: Can critical theology secure its critical operation without undermining its foundation in religious tradition and experience? Is “critical theology” simply an oxymoron when viewed from both sides of the equation?

In this fresh approach to critical religious thinking, Lalonde guides us through the dilemmas of modern Christian theological thought by way of examining Jürgen Habermas's momentous objections to critical theology. Neither accepting nor rejecting Habermas's critique, Lalonde deconstructs Habermas's argument to discover a religious concern that cannot be truly handled by critical theology or Habermas's version of critical theory. In answer to this breach, Lalonde sets out to design a non-theological approach to understanding the religious by expanding the form of critical theory and the content of religious philosophy. With different assists from the work of Michel Foucault, Charles Taylor, and Emmanuel Levinas, Lalonde advances a complex of thinkers and ideas that come to found «a critical theory of religious insight.» In this way, Lalonde's book genuinely develops the religious contribution to critical thought as a whole.

(In this challenging collection of essays, Marc P. Lalonde...)
In this challenging collection of essays, Marc P. Lalonde carves out a provocative direction for contemporary religious thought. Cutting a novel path through the disciplines of critical theology, religious studies, and critical theory, this volume culminates with the groundbreaking essay «A Critical Theory of Religious Insight.» Engaging the religious as a resource for theoretical innovation, the theory advances itself as a unique form of critical theory concerned to set the religious against the normative orders of thought. This critical strategy not only bears upon the development of religious thought today but involves the extension of critical thought and theory.
