“A solid and refreshing contribution to the growing literature in continental
philosophy, this volume points scholars and students to the ‘next wave’ in
phenomenology of religion.”—James K. A. Smith, Calvin College"Cutting edge research in the area of phenomenology and theology."
—Richard Kearney In one way or another, all of these essays contend with the limits and expectations
of phenomenology. As such, they are all concerned with what counts
as “proper” phenomenology and even the very structure of phenomenology.
None of them, however, is limited to such questions. Indeed, the rich tapestry
that they weave tells us much about human experience. Themes such as
faith, hope, love, grace, the gift, the sacraments, the words of Christ, suffering,
joy, life, the call, touch, listening, wounding, and humility are woven
throughout the various meditations in this volume. The contributors use
striking examples to illuminate the structure and limits of phenomenology,
and, in turn, phenomenology serves to clarify those very examples.CONTRIBUTORS: Bruce Ellis Benson, Jeffrey Bloechl, Clayton Crockett,
