Thomas G. Guarino is Professor of Systematic Theology at the School of Theology, Seton hall University, New Jersey

'Tom Guarino's VATTIMO AND THEOLOGY proves the possibility that Vattimo's Nietzschean nihilism can and does enter into a fruitful dialogue with contemporary theology and thereby makes an important and timely contribution to a multivalent culture of tolerance. It works effectively as an introduction to the key themes and concepts from Vattimo's post-metaphysical weak thought and distinctly postmodern faith, and also provides a constructive and critical dialogue that calls to question what Guarino ultimately concludes is the axiomatic nature of Vattimo's thinking.'

• Introduction Chapter One: An Overture to Vattimo's Thought. Chapter Two: Interpretation, Being and Truth: Vattimo's Contribution Chapter Three: Can a Nietzschean Speak to Theology? Some Historical Considerations. Chapter Four: Theological Dialogue with Vattimo (I): Postmodernity and Theology Chapter Five: Theological Dialogue with Vattimo (II): Truth and Interpretation Conclusions
