An introduction and evaluation of contemporary approaches to theology, Postmodern Theologies sets out to discern movements shaping the postmodern study of religion in a unique collaborative venture born of a post-graduate seminar at Florida State University. While some might say that theology after the death of God is like biology after the end of life a discipline without a subject Postmodern Theologies identifies four general patterns of 'postmodernism' in theology today: 'constructive' theologies (with Helmut Peukert, David Ray Griffin and David Tracy cited as examples); postmodernism of 'dissolution' (Thomas J.J. Altizer Mark C. Taylor and Edith Whyschogord); postliberal theologies (George Lindbeck); and 'communal praxis' (exemplified by Gustavo Gutierrez and other Latin American theologians and James W. McClendon and Sharon Welch among North Americans). These theologies eschew debates on traditional religious foundations to define true religion as the results of rather than impetus to living one's beliefs.
