Author Description

The Nine Essays In 'the Appearing Of God' Are Situated On The Fluid Border Of Philosophy And Theology, And Follow A Path Leading From Classic Modern Philosophical Discussions Of Experience To Some Leading Themes In Contemporary Phenomenology. After An Introductory Exploration Of Kierkegaard's Classic Text That Straddles The Border Between Philosophy And Theology, The Reader Is Introduced To Husserl's Account Of Perception, With Its Demonstration That The Field Of Phenomena Is Wider Than That Of Perceptible Entities, Allowing Phenomena That Give Themselves Primarily To Feeling. Husserl's Theory Of Reduction Is Then Subjected To A Critique, Which Identifies Phenomena Wholly Resistant To Reduction. The Missing Frontier: Philosophy And Theology In The Philosophical Fragments -- Perception, Transcendence, And The Knowledge Of God -- Appearance Without Reduction -- The Knowledge And Love Of God: Beyond Faith And Reason -- Existence And Love Of God: Remarks On A Note In Being And Time -- Anticipation -- Giving And Promising -- From Present Self To Future Self -- Resurrectio Carnis: Theological Study And Knowledge In Worship. Jean-yves Lacoste; Translated By Oliver O'donovan. From La Phénoménalité De Dieu: Neuf Études, Paris: Éditions Du Cerf, 2008--title Page. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
