Notes
Simmons makes his case in Chapter 5, Reply 2, 237–38.
Simmons uses this expression, “metaphysical postmodernism,” to identify Caputo’s position, but Caputo points out that it is confusing and mistaken; he notes that Minister has already pointed this out. See 302–303.
All subsequent references to Simmons, God and the Other, will be in this form.
Simmons discusses the famous critique of Dominique Janicauld et al. Phenomenology and the “Theological Turn”: The French Debate (New York: Fordham University Press 2000) and the reactions to it in Peter Jonkers and Ruud Welten (eds.), God in France: Eight Contemporary French Thinkers on God (Leuven: Peeters 2005).
Simmons claims that the resolution between phenomenology and theology points toward a “postmodern apologetics” (164-65). This possibility is something he then elaborates in the first essay in the collection discussed above.
