In Memoriam
Charles E. Winquist (Ph.D.
University of Chicago, 1970) was Thomas J. Watson Professor
of Religion at Syracuse University from 1986 until his death
in 2002. He was a pioneer in postmodern, deconstructive
theology and is a highly regarded theoretician of religion
whose work is “constitutive of one of the more original sets
of theological reflections of the late twentieth century.”
(James J. DiCenso, University of Toronto). Among his
publications are The Surface of the Deep (2002),
Desiring Theology (1995), Theology at the End of the
Century (1990), Practical Hermeneutics (1980),
Homecoming (1978), Communion of Possibility
(1975), and The Transcendental Imagination (1972).
Our first series, Philosophical
and Cultural Studies in Religion, was developed with the assistance of our mentor and
friend, Charles E. Winquist. It began with the reissue of classics
by contemporary scholars whose books had gone out of print and was
expanded in scope to publish, in addition, new works by both
established authors and emerging scholars. Although Charlie is gone,
and the series is closed, we will continue to honor his memory through the acquisition of
titles that reflect the spirit embodied in both his own works and
the works that are listed below.
