In The Givenness of Desire, Randall S. Rosenberg examines the human
desire for God through the lens of Lonergan's "concrete
subjectivity." Rosenberg engages and integrates two major scholarly
developments: the tension between Neo-Thomists and scholars of
Henri de Lubac over our natural desire to see God and the
theological appropriation of the mimetic theory of Rene Girard,
with an emphasis on the saints as models of desire. With Lonergan
as an integrating thread, the author engages a variety of thinkers,
including Hans Urs von Balthasar, Jean-Luc Marion, Rene Girard,
James Alison, Lawrence Feingold, and John Milbank, among others.
The theme of concrete subjectivity helps to resist the tendency of
equating too easily the natural desire for being with the natural
desire for God without at the same time acknowledging the
widespread distortion of desire found in the consumer culture that
infects contemporary life. The Givenness of Desire investigates our
paradoxical desire for God that is rooted in both the natural and
supernatural.
