God after God-- "ana-theos"--is a moment of creative "not knowing" signifying a break with former sureties and inviting the forging of new meanings from the most ancient of wisdoms. Anatheism refers to an inaugural event lying at the heart of every great religion, a wager between hospitality and hostility to the stranger -- the sense of something "more." By analyzing the roots of our own anatheistic moment today, Richard Kearney shows not only how a return to God is possible for those who seek it but also how a more liberating faith can be born.
