Edited by Kevin Hart, Barbara Wall
Part of the Perspectives in Continental Philosophy series
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
The book provides a series of approaches to the ancient question of whether and how God is a matter of "experience," or, alternately, to what extent the notion of experience can be true to itself if it does not include God.
On the one hand, it seems impossible to experience God: the deity does not offer Himself to sense experience.
On the other hand, there have been mystics who have claimed to have encountered God.
The essays in this collection seek to explore the topic again, drawing insights from phenomenology, theology, literature, and feminism.
Throughout, this stimulating collection maintains a strong connection with concrete rather than abstract approaches to God. The contributors: Michael F. Andrews, Jeffrey Bloechl, John D. Caputo, Kristine Culp, Kevin Hart, Kevin L. Hughes, Jean-Yves Lacoste, Crystal Lucky, Renee McKenzie, Kim Paffenroth, Michael Purcell, Michael J.
