Jean-Luc Marion's early work on Descartes and his more recent
writings in phenomenology have not only elicited huge interest in
France and the US, but also created huge potential in the field of
theology. This book is organised around central questions about the
divine raised by Marion's work: how to speak of God, how to
approach God, how to experience God, how to receive God, how to
believe in God, how to worship God. Within that context it deals
with the important aspects of his philosophical work: the
inspiration of his writings in what he calls Descartes' "white
theology" and its late medieval context as well as the apophatic
theology associated with Dionysius the Areopagite; his important
claims about idolatrous and iconic ways of speaking of the divine;
his notion of the saturated phenomenon or a phenomenology of
revelation and givenness, and his extensive writings on love.
Christina M. Gschwandtner also considers Marion's explicitly
theological writings and establishes their relationship to his
larger phenomenological oeuvre. Overall, it approaches Marion's
work not only as a philosophy of religion, but with specifically
theological questions in mind. It hence shows how Marion's
extensive historical and phenomenological work can be profitable
and inspiring for theology today, for both systematic questions and
for concerns of spirituality, in a way that holds the theoretical
and the practical together.
