Givenness and Revelation represents both the unity and the deep continuity of Jean-Luc Marions thinking over many decades. This investigation into the origins and evolution of the concept of revelation arises from an initial reappraisal of the tension between natural theology and the revealed knowledge of God or sacra doctrina. Marion draws on the re-definition of the notions of possibility and impossibility, the critique of the reification of the subject, and the unpredictability of the 'event' in its relationship to the phenomenology of the gift. This work begins and ends in the concept of revelation, thus addressing the very heart and soul of Marion's theology, concluding with a phenomenological approach to the Trinity that rests in the Spirit as gift. Givenness and Revelation enhances not only our understanding of religious experience, but enlarges the horizon of possibility of phenomenology itself. "Marion is right to identify givenness and revelation as foundational concepts for phenomenology and theology respectively. His Gifford Lectures helpfully fill out his interest in revelation as a pre-eminent example of phenomenality."--Shane Mackinlay, Modern Theology " Giveness and Revelation takes in wide historical horizons.For arion the uniqueness of the doctrine of the Trinity lies in its revelation of a unity consisting in love, 'put into operation as communion.' He counters the protest that hristianity betrays the monotheism of the other Abrahamic religions by arguing that Trinitarian theology discloses a unity "well beyond the empty unicity of numeration"." -- Clare Carlisle, Times Literary Supplement Jean-Luc Marion , Member of the French Academy, Emeritus professor Universite Paris-Sorbonne, Professor at the University of Chicago Divinity School Jean-Luc Marion is Professor of Philosophy at the Universite Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV), and the John Nuveen Distinguished Professor in the Divinity School and Professor in the Committee on Social Thought and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago.
