Lieven Boeve contextualises Lyotard's writings and approach with
reference to his theological thought. By focusing on issues such as
the nature of the differend within language, the sublime experience
and our (in)ability to witness to the breakdowns of language and
representation, Lyotard's thought provokes theology to reconsider its
own foundations. Taking up issues such as a highly relevant critique
of capitalism, itself vital to today's understanding of Christian
praxis in a global world, Lyotard offers us a perspective by which to
re-evaluate Christianity beyond its being a hegemonic discourse as it
moves toward being a discourse concerned with love. Through exploring
the Christian narrative as an 'open' one, Boeve aims to make use of
new possibilities for theology through a renewed comprehension of
Lyotard's significance for today.
