"""This must-read collection of essays by a globally renowned choir of voices is more than a profound, pulsating celebration of Hent de Vries’ pathbreaking contribution to the sociology, politics and philosophy of religion: it’s a right-on-time engagement with religion’s past, present and future as the killing knee of oppression, the soul of hope, a stomp down, a prayer, a terror, a metaphysic and, even, a joy."" - Anita L. Allen, University of Pennsylvania ""Hent de Vries is among the most intrepid explorers of the intersection of religion and reason in post-modernity. This fascinating volume will henceforth serve as the starting point for anyone seeking to engage his thought. Each contributor is a luminary, each contribution a chiseled gem. Together they illuminate de Vries’ oeuvre, and simultaneously take on some of the most pressing questions of contemporary politics, ethics, theology, and metaphysics."" - David Nirenberg, Institute for Advanced Study ""The rich and diverse essays in Religion in Reason testify to the multidisciplinary interventions and enduring relevance of Hent de Vries’s work in the fields of philosophy, theology, and political theory. This wonderful volume offers learned and exciting readings of, among others, Adorno, Aquinas, Derrida, Duns Scotus, Freud, Heidegger, Levinas, Charles Taylor, and Max Weber. Most broadly, anyone interested in religion, secularism, religious and political violence, as well as the role that theology might and does play in the modern world, has much to gain from the learned and engaging essays in this volume."" - Leora Batnitzky, Princeton University"
