English Monastic Life Book

John Caputo absolutely blew my mind with this little book. I read What Would Jesus Deconstruct? a few months ago and really liked it, but it had me a little lost at some points because I was unfamiliar with his general philosophical stance. In contrast, On Religion is clear, short, and a kind of treatise on theology. As a result, it's the ideal intro to Caputo's form of radical theology.

To be honest, I think this should be required reading for everyone, especially students of religion or philosophy - it's that good. On Religion is an honest, challenging, and liberating book that transcends the usual bounds of theology, and ultimately leaves the reader at the crossroad of choosing either a path of radical love or selfish indifference toward the world & those in our lives, irrespective of one's theological stance.
