According to this way of thinking, philosophy and theology must forever remain distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn  \u003ci\u003eFrom Theology to Theological Thinking,\u003c\/i\u003e Jean-Yves Lacoste takes a different approach. Stepping back from contemporary philosophical concerns, Lacoste—a leading figure in the philosophy of religion—looks at the relationship between philosophy and theology from the standpoint of the history of ideas. He notes in particular that theology and philosophy were not considered separate realms until the high Middle Ages, this distinction being a hallmark of the modern era that is coming to an end. Lacoste argues that the intellectual task before us now is to work in the frontier region between or beyond these domains, work he identifies as \"the task of thinking.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith this argument, Lacoste resets our understanding of Western Christian thought, contending that a new way of thinking that is at once philosophical and theological will be the lasting discourse of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Virginia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118683013360,"sku":"9780813935577","price":29.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780813935577_p0.jpg?v=1763746094","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780813935577","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
