Can finite humans grasp universal truth? Is it possible to think
beyond the limits of reason? Are we doomed to failure because of
our finitude? In this clear and accessible book, Barnabas Aspray
presents Ricoeur's response to these perennial philosophical
questions through an analysis of human finitude at the intersection
of philosophy and theology. Using unpublished and previously
untranslated archival sources, he shows how Ricoeur's
groundbreaking concept of symbols leads to a view of creation, not
as a theological doctrine, but as a mystery beyond the limits of
thought that gives rise to philosophical insight. If finitude is
created, then it can be distinguished from both the Creator and
evil, leading to a view of human existence that, instead of the
'anguish of no' proclaims the 'joy of yes.'
Reading Scripture with Paul Ricoeur is a unique volume in which
twelve diverse contributors illuminate and analyze Paul Ricoeur's
personal religious faith and intellectual passion for Scripture.
The co-editors, Joseph A. Edelheit and James F Moore, each studied
with Ricoeur at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago
and bring the perspectives of a rabbi and of a Lutheran pastor and
theologian, respectively. This book engages topics such as
translation, biblical hermeneutics, and prophecy, as well as
specific scriptural passages: Cain and Abel, the Epistles, and a
feminist reading of Rahab. It provides both students and scholars
alike a new resource of reflections using Ricoeur's scholarship to
illuminate and model how Ricoeur read and taught.
