This book offers the first comparative evaluation of Alain Badiou
and Jean-Luc Marion, two of the most important philosophers at work
today."Badiou, Marion and St Paul" addresses the difficult question
of whether it is possible to coherently think the notion of grace
strictly in terms of immanence. The book develops a model for the
thought of an immanent grace that avoids the traps of both
obscurantism (the invocation of a wholly ineffably or transcendent
ground for grace) and banality (the reduction of grace to nothing
more than a variation of the established order).The conceptual
resources needed for the development of such a model are gathered
from sustained and original readings of St Paul's letter to the
Romans, Jean-Luc Marion's "Being Given" and Alain Badiou's "Being
and Event". As each thinker is taken up, their unique contributions
to the model are elaborated and their positions are coordinated
with each of the others in order to render a comparative evaluation
of their strengths and weaknesses possible. The result of this
triangulation is the emergence of a common conceptual strategy that
simultaneously opens surprisingly direct paths into the heart of
each of their disparate projects and, more importantly, a viable
route to the thought of a genuinely immanent grace.
