8History of the One GodHeythrop Journal 38 (4): 371-400. 1997.The article discusses the history of monotheism from the earliest times to the present. It begins with arguments against the notion of monotheists as an evolutionarily early stage in religion and then proceeds to characterize monotheism in the Old testament. The view that there was every a pre‐monotheistic phase of one ‘national God’ is called into question, along with the priority of the ‘God of history’ over the creator God. Association of the divine with social justice is shown to be common t…Read more

7Number and the BetweenIn Dennis Vanden Auweele (ed.), William Desmond’s Philosophy between Metaphysics, Religion, Ethics, and Aesthetics, Palgrave-macmillan. pp. 15-44. 2018.This chapter discusses the topic of mediation, number and mathematics. It aims to find a way to think of mathematics as the soul of reality by means of Wittgenstein and Cantor. This chapter reflects on the modern attempts to rethink mathematics in terms of logics. In Milbank’s view, a revision of this could support the ‘third way’ of a theistic metaphysics, which must, after Erich Przywara and William Desmond, be a metaphysics of the analogy of being or metaxology.

7The Gospel of AffinityEthical Perspectives 7 (4): 220-232. 2000.What is postmodernity? — not simply postmodernism as a set of theories, but also postmodernity, as a set of cultural circumstances. Above all, it means the obliteration of boundaries, the confusion of categories. In the postmodern times in which we live, there is no longer any easy distinction to be made between nature and culture, private interior and public exterior, hierarchical summit and material depth; nor between idea and thing, message and means, production and exchange, product and deli…Read more

2Truth in AquinasRoutledge. 2002.Provocative and sophisticated, Truth in Aquinas is a fascinating re-evaluation of a key area - truth - in the work of Thomas Aquinas. John Milbank and Catherine Pickstock's provocative but strongly argued position is that many of the received views of Aquinas as philosopher and theologian are wrong. This compelling and controversial work builds on the amazing reception of Radical Orthodoxy (Routledge, 1999).

After Science and Religion: Fresh Perspectives From Philosophy and Theology (edited book)Cambridge University Press. 2022.The popular field of 'science and religion' is a lively and well-established area. It is however a domain which has long been characterised by certain traits. In the first place, it tends towards an adversarial dialectic in which the separate disciplines, now conjoined, are forever locked in a kind of mortal combat. Secondly, 'science and religion' has a tendency towards disentanglement, where 'science' does one sort of thing and 'religion' another. And thirdly, the duo are frequently pushed tow…Read more

An Apologia for ApologeticsPhilosophical News 3. 2011.The exercise of philosophical judgement requires attention to an apologetics, that is usually uttered by faith. In the case of Christian theology apologetics is central rather than secondary. It involves a defensive narrative of the exceptional life of the God-Man and of other lives lived in his wake. The invocation of reason by this narrative implies a certain apophatic reserve as to the nature of the witness of these lives and this same reserve permits a counter-apologetic for the purposes of …Read more
