Seldom have God matters been treated with such verve, sense, rigour and humour as in the collection of writings by Herbert McCabe. This book demonstrates the depth and clarity of his theology and philosophy of God, his appetite for controversy, both political and theological, as well as a traditional catholic concern for prayer, liturgy, Mary and St Dominic.
Herbert McCabe, who died in 2001, was one of the most intelligent Roman Catholic thinkers of the 20th century. An influence on philosophers such as Anthony Kenny and Alasdair MacIntyre, he was also befriended by poets and literary critics such as Seamus Heaney and Terry Eagleton. Equally at home in philosophy and theology, he despized jargon and intellectual posturing as a substitute for reason and argument. At the time of his death, he left much unpublished material. In "God Still Matters" we have the chance to read McCabe on the topics that interested him most: philosophy of God, Christology, fundamental theology, sacramental theology and ethics.
