STEENKAMP, Yolande. Of poetics and possibility: Richard Kearney's post-metaphysical God. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2017, vol.73, n.3, pp.1-7. ISSN 2072-8050.  https://doi.org/10.4102/hts.v73i3.4689.

This article provides an overview of Richard Kearney's attempt at re-imagining God post-metaphysically. In the context of a continental dialogue on the topic, Kearney has responded to onto-theology with a hermeneutic and phenomenologically informed attempt to rethink God post-metaphysically. This eschatological understanding of God is expounded in the article and is placed in relation to Kearney's more recent concept of Anatheism. The article closes with a few remarks on what may be gained by Kearney's work, as well as outlining a few critical questions.
