Book Synopsis
Does the philosophy of Heidegger represent the emergence of a secular anthropology that requires religious thought to redefine the religious dimension in human existence? In this critical response, Lacoste confronts the ultimate definition of human nature, the humanity of the human.

Trade Review
"This is a difficult but worthwhile work on the boundary between phenomenology and theological reflection." -Religious Studies Review "Jean-Yves Lacoste's Experience and the Absolute elaborates what many have wanted for a very long time: a phenomenology of the liturgy. What is it to exist liturgically? Does the place of prayer matter? How does prayer ground ethics? These questions are posed and answered with exemplary rigor. Lacoste's critique of "experience" in theology and his profound analyses of being "face-to-face with God" are essential reading. Here is a major work by a theologian of remarkable subtlety and exceptional intellectual force." -- -Kevin Hart The University of Notre Dame
