Stofanik provides a unique, personal reading of weak theology and tries to inhabit the gap between it and its "founder," John D. Caputo. In this distinctive exploration of John D. Caputo's work, Stefan Stofanik traces Caputo's journey of philosophical discovery from his earlier, more conventional academic writings to his later, almost confessional works of weak theology and his deep engagement with Derrida. Stofanik draws upon Caputo's life story to help explain sudden shifts in Caputo's thinking, offers intricate readings of philosophical passages that have all too often been taken for granted, and joins in Caputo's effort to find a theology that can be trusted and that does not rely upon dogmatic and hierarchical authority. At the same time, Stofanik subtly disagrees with aspects of Caputo's view and turns to the work of Antoine de Saint-Exupery as a way to suggest that one cannot take leave of the tradition of theology as easily as Caputo thinks. At times, The Adventure of Weak Theology reads like a letter to Caputo, and Stofanik's own passion for theology, his deep understanding of Caputo's work, and his gift for writing makes this an immensely appealing book for both admirers and critics of Caputo.
