"In this distinctive exploration of John D. Caputo's work, Štefan Štofaník traces
Caputo's journey of philosophical discovery from his earlier, more conventional academic
writings to his later, almost confessional works of weak theology and his deep engagement
with Derrida. Štofaník draws upon Caputo's life story to help explain sudden shifts
in Caputo's thinking, offers intricate readings of philosophical passages that have
all too often been taken for granted, and joins in Caputo's effort to find a theology
that can be trusted and that does not rely upon dogmatic and hierarchical authority.
At the same time, Štofaník subtly disagrees with aspects of Caputo's view and turns
to the work of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry as a way to suggest that one cannot take leave
of the tradition of theology as easily as Caputo thinks. At times, The Adventure of
Weak Theology reads like a letter to Caputo, and Štofaník's own passion for theology,
his deep understanding of Caputo's work, and his gift for writing makes this an immensely
appealing book for both admirers and critics of Caputo."
