description: The Hermeneutics of Charity, edited by James K.A. Smith and Henry Isaac Venema, examines the constructive ways Christianity and postmodern thought intersect. Addressing a range of topics--including "the hermeneutics of suspicion," selfhood, and the gift of community--this collection of essays engages the work of classical and contemporary philosophers. A final section of the book presents a tribute to James Olthuis, in whose honor the essays were collected. Contributors include Merold Westphal, the well-known professor of philosophy at Fordham University, and Brian Walsh and J. Richard Middleton, coauthors of Truth Is Stranger Than It Used to Be.
