In what follows I will present my case for a theology of “perhaps” in three steps. I would call these steps my three pillars except that that is too strong and erect, too edifying and foundational a thing to say in deconstruction. So as opposed to proposing three pillars of a strong theology I will speak instead of the three pills of a poetics of “perhaps,” three pills that theology has to swallow in order to get over its fear of this small word “perhaps.”
