Laurel C. Schneider is Associate Professor of Theology, Ethics, and
Culture at Chicago Theological Seminary and author of Re-Imagining the
Divine: Confronting the Backlash Against Feminist Theology (1999).
Laurel Schneider takes the reader on a vivid journey from the origins
of “the logic of the One” – only recently dubbed monotheism – through
to the modern day, where monotheism has increasingly failed to
adequately address spiritual, scientific, and ethical experiences in the
changing world. In Part I, Schneider traces a trajectory from the
ancient history of monotheism and multiplicity in Greece, Israel, and
Africa through the Constantinian valorization of the logic of the One,
to medieval and modern challenges to that logic in poetry and science.
She pursues an alternative and constructive approach in Part II: a
“logic of multiplicity” already resident in Christian traditions in
which the complexity of life and the presence of God may be better
articulated.
Part III takes up the open-ended question of ethics from within that
multiplicity, exploring the implications of this radical and realistic
new theology for the questions that lie underneath theological
construction: questions of belonging and nationalism, of the possibility
of love, and of unity. In this groundbreaking work of contemporary
theology, Schneider shows that the One is not lost in divine
multiplicity, and that in spite of its abstractions, divine multiplicity
is realistic and worldly, impossible ultimately to abstract.
