Full title :God without being : hors-texte / Jean-Luc Marion ; translated by Thomas A. Carlson ; with a foreword by David Tracy ; and a new preface by Jean-Luc Marion.

Summary

"Jean-Luc Marion is one of the world's foremost philosophers of religion as well as one of the leading Catholic thinkers of modern times. In [this book], Marion challenges a fundamental premise of traditional philosophy, theology, and metaphysics: that God, before all else, must be. Taking a characteristically postmodern stance and engaging in passionate dialogue with Heidegger, he locates a “God without Being” in the realm of agape, or Christian charity and love. If God is love, Marion contends, then God loves before he actually is. First translated into English in 1991, [the book] continues to be a key book for discussions of the nature of God. This second edition contains a new preface by Marion as well as his 2003 essay on Thomas Aquinas. Offering a controversial, contemporary perspective, [this book] will remain essential reading for scholars and students of philosophy and religion"--Amazon.com.
