Contents:
Introduction -- Part I: The main road -- Fundamental loyalties -- Theology, hermeneutics, and Ricoeur's double life -- Part II: Detour -- Prefiguration : the critical arc and descriptive identity -- Configuration : the narrative arc and narrative identity -- Refiguration : Ricoeur's "little ethics" -- Part III: Return -- Chalcedonian hermeneutics -- Theological anthropology : removing brackets -- Conclusion.
Summary: Paul Ricoeur (1913--2005) remains one of philosophy of religion's most distinctive voices. Ricoeur was a philosopher first, and while his religious reflections are very relevant to theology, Boyd Blundell argues that his philosophy is even more relevant. Using Ricoeur's own philosophical hermeneutics, Blundell shows that there is a way for explicitly Christian theology to maintain both its integrity and overall relevance. He demonstrates how the dominant pattern of detour and return found throughout Ricoe.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
