Description
Revelation Comes from Elsewhere is a new book by Jean-Luc Marion that explores human and divine revelation in a deeply phenomenological key.
The concept of Revelation has its roots in the development of metaphysics, tracing back to thinkers such as Aquinas, Suárez, Descartes, and Kant. However, this understanding of Revelation was formalized into an epistemological framework that has restricted philosophical and theological thinking ever since. Marion proposes a new approach by mobilizing the phenomenology of givenness to uncover revelation.
Marion's study of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures unfolds a logic of Trinitarian phenomenality, worked out in conversation with various thinkers, that ultimately transforms our notions of being and time.
