Continental philosophy, the philosophy of religion and the theory of
religion. He is an internationally

articles on topics ranging from postmodernism to popular religion and culture
to technology and society. His latest book, entitled The Revolution in Religious Theory: Toward a Semiotics of the Event

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

and The Next Reformation
(Baker Academic, 2004) - examine
the most recent trends and in paths of transformations at an international
level in contemporary Christianity. Other well -known works include Painted Black (HarperCollins, 1991),
which surveys the relationship between certain religious cults and violence
in contemporary society; The
Interruption of Eternity (Nelson-Hall, 1980), regarded as a standard

(Routledge, 2002),
an analysis of the online revolution in higher education; Fire and Roses: Postmodernity
and the Thought of the Body (State University of New York, 1995), a study
of what the term “postmodernism” means in a broad theoretical and cultural
perspective; and The Engendering God
(Westminster, 1995), an investigation of “feminist” strains in early the
Bible and early Christianity. Raschke is also past-president and former executive director of the American
