DESCRIPTION
"We hear a lot these days about the quest for alternative sources of energy. Has anyone considered Jamie Smith? This whirling dervish of public philosophy generates enough intellectual energy to supply a middle-size city all by himself." — John Wilson
editor of Books & Culture
"By now, Jamie Smith is not just a leading 'philosophical' or 'postmodern' or 'Reformed' theologian: he is simply a leading theologian. This volume shows that he has not only ascended to that height but also descended to a depth that terrifies most academics — journalism. He offers a theology as everyday as the neighborhood, the movies, partisan politics, the university, and the street corner — and with a twinkle in his eye he shows us Jesus' lordship in each place. I hope others will not just read Jamie's book, but will go and do likewise." — Jason Byassee
Center for Theology, Writing & Media, Duke Divinity School
A notable young voice in the academy, James K. A. Smith has consistently spoken to the church as the most important "public" for his intellectual work. Bringing together essays both thoughtful and entertaining, The Devil Reads Derrida displays some of Smith's most significant forays into the public arena.
In this engaging work Smith grapples with the Wild at Heart phenomenon and the challenges of secularization, deals with sex and consumerism, and comments on creative works from American Beauty and Harry Potter to A History of Violence and the poetry of Franz Wright. No matter what.
