The last two decades have witnessed a rising interest from philo-
sophers in the phenomenological, hermeneutic, and continental
tradition in questions concerning religion, religious experience,
and the relation between faith and reason. The essays in this vol-
ume, written by philosophers, theologians, and religious scholars
engage in a dialogue concerning these new frontiers. They retrace
the earliest roots of phenomenological reflection on religion in
the work of Husserl, Heidegger, and Stein, and they address con-
temporary debates, not least the much discussed “theological
turn” in phenomenology, in the work of Marion, Derrida, and
Henry. Among the themes treated are transcendence and imma-
nence, immensity, prayer, and the messianic. The essays trace
new paths and open up questions of relevance for all those inter-
ested in what it means to think religion from a philosophical
position today.
