Faith and reason, especially in Roman Catholic thought, are less
contradictory today than ever. But does the supposed opposition
even make sense to begin with? One can lose faith, but surely not
because one gains in reason. Some, in fact, lose faith when reason
is not able to make sense of the experiences of our lives. We very
quickly realize that reason does not understand everything. Immense
areas remain incomprehensible and irrational, which we abandon to
belief and opinion. Soon we definitively renounce thinking what
that has been excluded from the realm of the thinkable. Ideological
nightmares arise from this slumber of reason. Thus, the separation
between faith and reason, too quickly taken as self-evident and
even natural, is born from a lack of rationality, an easy
capitulatin of reason before what is supposedly unthinkable. Rather
than lose faith through excessive rationality, we often lose
rationality because faith is too quickly excluded from the realm
that it claims to open, that of revelation. We lose reason by
losing faith. Examining such topics as the role of the intellectual
in the church, the rationality of faith, the infinite worth and
incomprehensibility of the human, the phenomenality of the
sacraments, and the phenomenological nature of miracles and of
revelation more broadly, this book spans the range of Marion's
thought on Christianity. Throughout he stresses that faith has its
own rationality, structured according to the logic of the gift that
calls forth a response of love and devotion through kenotic
abandon.
