Abstract
This paper explores the post-metaphysical theology of Richard Kearney (1954â) from a Jewish theological perspective. It seeks to provide an original analysis of his project âanatheism,â considering the prominence of Jewish texts in the development of the concept of anatheism. Rooted in deconstructionist and Continental philosophical discourses, Jewish hermeneutics also plays a central role in anatheism. This discursive intersection has received scarce scholarly attention to date. Biblical and other texts which he interprets, include the rabbinic exegesis of Rashi and of modern Jewish hermeneutical philosophy notably of Martin Buber, Franz Rosenzweig, and Emmanuel Levinas. I analyse elements of Kearneyâs interpretation primarily of the âBurning Bushâ biblical narrative as a test case for anatheistic reading of Jewish texts as they appear in one particular text âI Am Who May Beâ in The God Who May Be: A Hermeneutics of Religion (2001). Kearneyâs textual reading of the Burning Bush offers an unusual example of a Christian engagement with Jewish interpretations of the biblical parable as well as of Levinas, Derrida, and others. Kearneyâs effort highlights an approach of a mutual search for ways of interpreting texts not âofâ the other, but âwithâ the other, in a mutual engagement of post-metaphysical theology. More broadly, this examination offers an important contribution to the developing field of post-metaphysical theology in the Jewish and Christian traditions, ultimately posing questions as to how and whether elements of Jewish scriptural interpretative techniques might or can imbue contemporary Christian post-metaphysical theologies. Conversely, the question can be asked as to what a Jewish version of anatheism might look like. This examination presents a test case for possibilities of reading and learning from discourses across different religions.
