About this listen
In Preaching Deconstruction, Robert M. Price applies the philosophy of Jacques Derrida and the radical theology of Thomas J.J. Altizer to real questions of spirituality and biblical interpretation across a dozen unique sermons. Price preaches from both the Old and New Testaments, as well as the Koran and the Gospel of Thomas. Other influences on these sermons, delivered in a Baptist church toward the end of Price's pastorate, include Paul Tillich, Paul de Man, Rudolf Bultmann, Robert W. Chambers, Ingmar Bergman, Malcolm Boyd, and Thomas Ligotti. As Price argues, the significance of Deconstruction to spirituality and the Bible can be measured by the amount of controversy, even hysteria, that it provoked, as well as by its broad implications—namely, that theological orthodoxy is no longer possible. Indeed, as Price reveals, these very sermons hastened his departure from the pulpit. By publishing them in full as a collection, he challenges the majority of those in the pews who might (nervously) laugh off ideas that make them uncomfortable—and invites them to discover the ways in which Deconstruction opens a fruitful path for religious exploration.
