Description
Jean-Luc Marion's Givenness and Revelation is a comprehensive exploration of the concept of revelation, tracing its evolution over decades. This work examines the relationship between 'natural theology' and the 'revealed knowledge of God', drawing on key concepts such as possibility and impossibility, subject reification, and the unpredictability of events.
The author assesses the capacities of various philosophical traditions - dogmatic theology, modern metaphysics, contemporary phenomenology, and biblical texts - to conceive the paradoxical phenomenality of a revelation. The book culminates in a phenomenological approach to the Trinity, uncovering the logic of gift performed in the scriptural manifestation of Jesus Christ as Son of the Father.
By expanding our understanding of religious experience, Givenness and Revelation also enlarges the horizon of possibility for phenomenology itself. This thought-provoking work is a valuable contribution to the field of Christian theology and philosophy.
