“Theopoetics of the Word is the final work from one of the most important Christian theologians of late modernity … . Crucial reading for anyone interested in current Christian thought … . Theopoetics of the Word is a dense and challenging text, strategically drawing on some of the more radical aspects of Christianity’s intellectual and spiritual heritage to offer new insights into linguistics, poetics, psychoanalysis, philosophy, theology, and technology.” (Dawid Koloszyc, Studies in Religion, Vol. 45 (1), April, 2016)
