Summary

2000 Years and Beyondbrings together some of the most eminent thinkers of our time-specialists in philosophy, theology, anthropology and cultural theory - to ask the strategic questions surrounding the millennium that others never thought to. These seven controversial and visonary new essays from Paul Ricoeur, Rene Girard, Jurgen Moltmann and Jean and John Comaroff, ask: How do we tell - and how do we rewrite - the story of the Common Era? Introduced by Paul Gifford, and discussed in a lively dialogic conclusion, they add their distinctive voices to a debate of profound and urgent topicality.
