In this book, Peter Dula turns to Stanley Cavell to see how his work might illuminate contemporary theological discussions - in particular, how his understanding of companionship might usefully complicate the communitarian-liberal divide and how his diagnosis of philosophical skepticism provides resources for engaging theological skepticism.
