It experimentally ports a traditional Christian understanding of grace out of a top-down, theistic ontology and into a bottom-up, agent-based ontology. A systematic account of Bruno Latour’s experimental, agent-based approach to metaphysics sets the object-oriented stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The rapidly developing field of object-oriented philosophy has been crying out for significant work on its relation to philosophy of religion. Adam Miller has provided us with a razor-sharp way into this new world. Built around a reading of Bruno Latour's work, this is more than a focused and lucid exposition. It is also a startling, constructive work of theology, in which grace is translated and democratized as the 'resistant availability' of objects and religion's true work is located in attention to immanence, to ordinariness, to the flesh. Redrawing the boundaries between science and religion, philosophy and theology, this book offers a way beyond humanism without escaping into fantasies of otherworldliness or purity. Provocative and brilliant, Speculative Grace sets an exciting agenda for future philosophical work on the object that is religion.\" -- -Steven Shakespeare Liverpool Hope University \"Adam Miller's book can rightly be described as both a daring experiment in theology, and as a lucid exposition of the thought of the French sociologist of science Bruno Latour. But in being both of these things at once, Speculative Grace is something more: a profound meditation on the cosmos and the multitude of beings that inhabit it. This is a book that stimulates thought, and renews our sense of wonder at what William James called the 'buzzing, blooming confusion' of the world.\" -- -Steven Shaviro Wayne State University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Levi R.
