Radical Theologies and Philosophies is a call for transformational theologies that break out of traditional locations and approaches. The rhizomic ethos of radical theologies enable the series to engage with an everexpanding radical expression and critique of theologies that have entered or seek to enter the public sphere, arising from the continued turn to religion and especially radical theology in politics, social sciences, philosophy, theory, cultural, and literary studies. The post-theistic theology both driving and arising from these intersections is the focus of this series.

I dedicate this book to my long-term friend and mentor (Canon Prof) John Atherton, formerly Director of the William Temple Foundation and Canon Theologian of Manchester Cathedral, who sadly died just as I began writing this book. His support and encouragement has carried me through the setbacks that accompany such writing projects and his presence will be sorely missed.
