And none of it has made the slightest difference to anything. And never will.

For whatever reason, I had a feeling he had some critique, and I'm curious to see it develop whenever he gets the time to throw it out there. Thanks for the heads up.

After all, studying at UVA for you phd awhile back, one would have to be aware of Milbank. But I don't feel I can speak well to his criticism since he mentioned it in brief and hasn't published it. Just make sure you keep a look out for it. Carter is aware of RO and he does have a criticism. After all, studying at UVA for you phd awhile back, one would have to be aware of Milbank.

I'm about 80 pages in and it's every bit as challenging as I'd thought. He's a very clear writer though; the only parts I was a little confused on were on Foucault, who I'm not really familiar with at all. I'm assuming that future projects will supplement this book, because he says as much a few times in the book. It would be interesting to read his take on some of the recent "theopolitical" conversation(s) going on. Maybe there is an essay I'm unaware of? I know he's familiar with some of the RO positions because he teaches seminars on it at Duke (I've perused the course offerings many times; Duke is somewhere I'm really considering when I graduate next spring).

He is a tenured professor of theology at Drew Theological School. Here is his first book: http://www.amazon.com/Risking-Proclamation-Respecting-Difference-Imperialistic/dp/1556355238/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242788882&sr=8-1 Christopher Boesel is a bright theologian, doing some fascinating work with Postmodern Philosophy/Theology, Social Justice issues, and Barth.

Are you asking about professional theologians, academics by trade or voices from within average churches? I am excited to see what more J.K. Carter produces, though he may be known by now.

The former is doing a lot of good work on the Trinity and comes from a Wesleyan perspective, and the latter does good work in both philosophical and biblical theology from a quasi-anabaptist perspective.

I didn't realize that you worked for the publishing company he has already worked with. I have had the privilege of learning under him the past few years (with my last two classes for my MA being with him this summer). I'll have to mention to him that we have met (in the blogosphere). Small world. Lastly, i am glad that more is on the way. I am aware of some of his future plans, but not all. Hopefully you both can have a long fruitful partnership. Derek Halden,
