This is possibly the most user-friendly introduction to the thought of Jean-Luc Marion ... This book will be extremely helpful for students of both philosophy and theology and especially for those trying to understand the philosophical presuppositions of Communio-style theology.

Reviews in Religion and Theology

If there is one door that opens broadly and easily into the beautiful and difficult world of Jean-Luc Marion, it is the book you are holding in your hands as you read these words: a work that traces, with exemplary rigor, the mutual involvement of phenomenology and theology in the thought of this major philosopher. The lucidity, thoroughness and the generousity of Christina Gschwandtner's book are nothing short of extraordinary.

This is a splendid twofer from a writer who is probably our finest interpreter of Marion;s work. Because of its clarity and comprehensiveness it serves as the best introduction to his thought. Because of the connections and continuities it shows among elements that might otherwise seem to stand along, it will provide insight and illumination to those who are long time readers of Marion.
