This book examines the transcendental dimension of Kant's
philosophy as a positive resource for theology. Firestone shows
that Kant's philosophy establishes three distinct grounds for
transcendental theology and then evaluates the form and content of
theology that emerges when Christian theologians adopt these
grounds. To understand Kant's philosophy as a completed process,
Firestone argues, theologians must go beyond the strictures of
Kant's critical philosophy proper and consider in its fullness the
transcendental significance of what Kant calls 'rational religious
faith'. This movement takes us into the promising but highly
treacherous waters of "Kant's Religion within the Boundaries of
Mere Reason" to understand theology at the transcendental bounds of
reason.
