Over the last fifteen years, the largely American tradition of process theology has moved in new directions as it has been lured into sustained engagements with French poststructuralism. Roland Faber’s The Divine Manifold is perhaps the most impressive example of this new shape that process thought is taking on in the twenty-first century. For those who would dismiss Whitehead’s philosophy as outdated or irrelevant to our present context, Faber’s Manifold offers a startlingly novel interpretation of the great metaphysician and a series of complex arguments for his continuing importance.... Deleuze and Whitehead scholars simply cannot afford to ignore Faber’s brilliant achievement in this text, nor can theologians who are working within process, poststructural-ist, or radical traditions. The Divine Manifold could ultimately bring about a paradigm shift within these areas of study, and thus deserves to be seriously engaged by both philosophers and theologians for years to come.
