Dante and Derrida: Face to Face
"I like very much the author's imaginative, audacious, writerly engagement with the texts he interprets. There is much that is provocative in these readings, and the flair and style of the writer's language—in many ways an extension of Derrida's own style of writing and interpretation—announce an appreciable new talent."
--William Franke, author of Dante's Interpretive Journey


"Francis Ambrosio has carried out a novel and incisive analysis that sheds important light on Derrida's analysis of the aporia of forgiveness
by taking up the question of Derrida and Dante. The result is an unusual combination of historical erudition and philosophical insight into one of the most provocative thinkers of our time and an outstanding contribution to continental philosophy of religion."
--John D. Caputo, author of The Weakness of God: A Theology of the Event

The Question of Christian Philosophy Today
Based on papers delivered at a conference held at Georgetown University in Fall 1993, The Question of Christian Philosophy Today probes different issues confronting Christian philosophy at the brink of the twenty-first century, from traditionalism to postmodernism. Together with excerpts from the question and answer session, each paper and the concluding round table discussion are here preserved in five distinct sections. The work, taken as a whole, is an exemplar of the meaning and spirit of where we can locate Christian Philosophy today, and what we can expect for its future.
