Editorial Reviews

". . . [Marion] is one of the most provocative thinkers working on the boundaries of philosophy and theology today. . . .[Prolegomena to Charity] represents such a theological work—rich, insightful, and constructively traversing 'phenomenology as well as the most straightforwardly Christological theology.'"—Choice
