God-language has been used to despoil the earth; could it help support planetary thriving? In this timely volume Catherine Keller tells the story of the deep entanglement of theological and ecological crises, tracing how dominating divine spirit and the eco-crisis were interwoven from the beginning. Gradually the reader begins to discern the emergence of a more immanent spirit, now liberated from dualistic and colonizing chains and reconnected with the earth--the pathway toward a genuine planetary theology.---Philip Clayton, compiler of The New Possible: Visions of our World beyond Crisis A riveting collection by the leading theologian in the USA today, magisterial in scope, iridescent in style, Keller ranges over matters that matter, theological, ecological, and political, a tour de force on everything from process thought, postmodern theory, and feminism to climate change and the war in Ukraine. Everything we expect from Catherine Keller. This is exactly what theology should look like today.---John D. Caputo, Thomas J. Watson Professor Emeritus of Religion, Syracuse University, and author of What to Belive? Twelve Brief Lessons in Radical Theology There are few theologians who have such luminous insights and spirited sensibilities to capture the hidden possibilities of a vital Christianity for our unraveling world. With steadiness and tenacity Keller weaves a fresh language for future ecotheologians to develop further. Her contributions in these essays reside in the realm of penetrating originality and unparalleled brilliance.---Mary Evelyn Tucker, Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology Catherine Keller is a theologian who does not write about the prospects of Christianity or theology. She writes luminous, theopoetic, brilliantly astute essays and books about entanglement, eco-apocalypse, racial capitalism, divine weakness, and creative becoming. No Matter What is vintage Keller at her liveliest.---Gary Dorrien, author of In a Post-Hegelian Spirit: Philosophical Theology as Idealistic Discontent In one sense or another, all of Catherine Keller's books are about everything. The end of all things; the beginning of all things; the excess and entanglement of God, world, and everything that composes them. But even for those familiar with Keller's everything, No Matter What somehow gives us more: the climate, the quantum, surging nationalisms, Black life, Ukrainian persistence, and the interdetermining breath that makes another way still possible.---Mary-Jane Rubenstein, author of Astrotopia: The Dangerous Religion of the Corporate Space Race When Catherine Keller writes about the earth, love, power, politics, and more, it matters! Admittedly, it's tempting to believe doomsday scenarios will prevail. But Keller's process alternative--expressed in enticing prose--offers hope, meaning, and the Lure of Love. Read this book; it matters!---Thomas Jay Oord, author of The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence

In one sense or another, all of Catherine Keller's books are about everything. The end of all things; the beginning of all things; the excess and entanglement of God, world, and everything that composes them. Even for those familiar with Keller's everything, however, No Matter What somehow gives us more: the climate, the quantum, surging nationalisms, Black life, Ukranian persistence, and the interdetermining breath that makes another way still possible.---Mary-Jane Rubenstein, author of Astrotopia: The Dangerous Religion of the Corporate Space Race When Catherine Keller writes about the earth, love, power, politics, and more, it matters! Admittedly, it's tempting to believe doomsday scenarios will prevail. But Keller's process alternative--expressed in enticing prose--offers hope, meaning, and the Lure of Love.
