Reviews
The French text is ably and elegantly translated by Oliver O'Donovan, whose scholarly reputation and accomplishments are unquestioned. * Thomas J. Millay, Baylor University, Modern Theology *
The Appearing of God is a nuanced and captivating book. It will interest philosophers and theologians alike...a must-read contribution from one of the leading thinkers on the ongoing debates about the so-called "theological turn" in French phenomenology, its significance, and its implications for theology. * Ruan Bessa, Theology and History *
Oliver O'Donovan deserves great credit for undertaking the painstaking work of translating Jean-Yves Lacoste's La phenomenalite de Dieu * Nikolaas Deketelaere, Phenomenological Reviews *
