From the Publisher
"Erring is a thoughtful, often brilliant attempt to
describe and enact what remains of (and for) theology in the wake
of deconstruction. Drawing on Hegel, Nietzsche, Derrida, and
others, Mark Taylor extends-and goes well beyond-pioneering
efforts. . . . The result is a major book, comprehensive and
well-informed."-G. Douglas Atkins, Philosophy and
Literature
"Many have felt the need for a study which would explicate in
coherent and accessible fashion the principal tenets of
deconstruction, with particular attention to their theological
implications. This need the author has addressed in a most
impressive manner. The book''s effect upon contemporary discussion
is apt to be, and deserves to be, far-reaching."-Walter Lowe,
Journal of Religion
