This book offers a novel account of grace framed in terms of Bruno
Latour's "principle of irreduction." It thus models an
object-oriented approach to grace, experimentally moving a
traditional Christian understanding of grace out of a top-down,
theistic ontology and into an agent-based, object-oriented
ontology. In the process, it also provides a systematic and
original account of Latour's overall project. The account of grace
offered here redistributes the tasks assigned to science and
religion. Where now the work of science is to bring into focus
objects that are too distant, too resistant, and too transcendent
to be visible, the business of religion is to bring into focus
objects that are too near, too available, and too immanent to be
visible. Where science reveals transcendent objects by correcting
for our nearsightedness, religion reveals immanent objects by
correcting for our farsightedness. Speculative Grace remaps the
meaning of grace and examines the kinds of religious instruments
and practices that, as a result, take center stage.
