This is a magnificent book. Keller sets out to develop an apophatic theology of relationality in conversation with a wide-ranging variety of sources including process theology, quantum mechanics, poetry, ecology, Deleuze, and medieval theology. I’ve truly never read a book like this, it’s stunningly beautiful and brilliant, if difficult. It has rapidly become one of the best works of theology I’ve read this year. 

Through a project of unsaying, Keller argues that humans are entangled with reality. Her relational ontology spreads not just to other humans, but to nature and the ecological world as well. By arguing for the nonknowability of God and the nonseparability of creatures, Keller grounds democracy and justice in responsibility rather than an otherworldly being who will step in and make all things right. Because we are entangled with all things, justice comes to be applied to nature as well as persons. Racism, homophobia, and the earth are inseparable. 

I adored this book.
