Carl A. Raschke is the Chair and Professor of Religious Studies Department at the University of Denver, specializing in Continental philosophy, the philosophy of religion and the theory of religion. He wrote the essay The End of Theology.[1] He has authored books and articles on topics ranging from postmodernism to popular religion and philosophy of culture to philosophy of technology. He is co-founder and senior editor of The Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory. He holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University. His book Painted Black was prominent in spurring on the satanic ritual abuse moral panic of the 1990s.
His latest book, entitled The Revolution in Religious Theory: Toward a Semiotics of the Event (University of Virginia Press, 2012) looks at the ways in which major trends in Continental philosophy over the past two decades have radically altered how we understand what we call “religion” in general. His previous two books – GloboChrist (Baker Academic, 2008) and The Next Reformation (Baker Academic, 2004) – examine the most recent trends and in paths of transformations at an international level in contemporary Christianity.[2][3]
