Prophetic Interruptions: Critical Theory, Emancipation, and Religion in Paul Tillich, Theodor Adorno, and Max Horkheimer (1929-1944)
By author: Bryan L. Wagoner
Publisher: Mercer University Press
Product Code: H944
ISBN: 9780881466348
Availability: In stock
Price: $35.00
PROPHETIC INTERRUPTIONS initially draws numerous, yet previously unknown, connections between Paul Tillich, Theodor Adorno, and Max Horkheimer during their shared years in Frankfurt and New York, focusing particularly on the years 1929–1944. While Critical Theory was being formulated, Tillich, the teacher and colleague of Adorno and Horkheimer, respectively, was working on his own religious social(ist) theory. Moving beyond this historical background, Wagoner shows how these personal connections evolved and were mutually engaging. Instead of pursuing discernible mutual influence among Tillich, Adorno, and Horkheimer, the book instead demonstrates that their ideas were forged in the crucible of friendship and common purpose, toward the common end of emancipation.

Reading Kierkegaard Devotionally
By author: Jamie Lorentzen
Publisher: Mercer University Press
Product Code: P704
ISBN: 9780881469554
Availability: In stock
Price: $16.00
Reading devotionally--reading to recall sacred text in ways that call the reader to respond ethically to that text--runs contrary to reading habits of many scholars and lay readers of Søren Kierkegaard. As much as Jamie Lorentzen attends to devotional reading habits in this book, he writes for readers to whom Kierkegaard himself attended, namely, individuals navigating innately human crossroads of existence where nihilism, religious skepticism, and religious belief meet.

Kenneth Burke is one of the most provocative thinkers of our age. He is best known as a writer and literary critic; yet he has, according to fellow critic Merle Brown, “worked in so many forms and on so many subjects that he may deserve to be acclaimed as the universal man of modern, mass democracy.” Indeed Burke has become a philosopher as well as a critic, as he has attempted to integrate literary criticism with a philosophy of motives.
