Kant and Theology at the Boundaries of Reason

Firestone's sole-authored monograph asks the question every theologian who has read the first Critique eventually asks: can Christian theology go through Kant rather than around him? His answer is that Kant's philosophy establishes three distinct grounds for theology (moral, poetic, and ontological) and that the key to all three is what Kant calls rational religious faith. The book maps the form and content of the theology that emerges when theologians actually adopt those grounds, and it includes English translations, by Firestone and Nathan Jacobs, of two Paul Tillich essays on Rudolf Otto.
