Unnatural theology: religion, art, and media after the death of God

The failure of secular modernity to deliver on its promise of progress and enlightenment leaves a void that religion is rushing to fill.

Yet what kind of religious thinking and doing can be adequate to our posthuman condition? And how can we avoid either embracing religious fundamentalism and fantasy or remaining mired in hopeless atheistic nihilism?

In this book, Charlie Gere provides ways of thinking about the possibilities of religion and theology in the context of our highly technologised postmodernity.

Taking its cue from a wide range of thinkers, from John Ruskin and Alfred North Whitehead, to Jacques Derrida, Judith Butler, Giorgio Agamben, Simon Critchley and Bruno Latour, and artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Richard Hamilton, the book seeks the remnants of theology and religion in the realms of technology and media, and also art, as the basis of potential new religious thinking.
