Postmodernity's Transcending: Devaluing God (Faith in Reason) - Softcover

Hemming's prose is a genuine effort to rethink the nature of religious experience in the modern West. "Journal of Religion""

This book is thematically rich and philosophically erudite with intricate discussions of themes and authors. "Theological Studies""

Hemming s work undertakes on the one hand a history of the concept of the sublime, and on the other, it explores the limits of theological thinking, where theology is understood either as a practice arising from faith or from thinking alone. By examining concepts like soul, experience, analogy, and truth, Hemming provokes contemporary Christian theology to a more serious engagement with philosophy. "Theology Digest""
