Robyn Horner argues that we need to re-evaluate theology by focusing on experience and phenomenology, which seeks to examine unrestrictedly what is given through involved encounter. She develops the idea of revelation as an event wherein God interrupts and exceeds human experience, affecting and transforming it. This concept articulates a notion of supernatural revelation that is coherent and plausible. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 October 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the West, belief and credal commitment often lose their significance, giving rise to a sense of cultural amnesia. Formal religious adherence seems unimaginable, particularly when it comes to the concept of divine revelation. Robyn Horner contends that we must re-evaluate the way theology proceeds, shifting the focus from beliefs to experiences. By exploring how the experiential can open human beings up to the possibility of the divine, the author turns to phenomenology, particularly in the French philosophical tradition, which aims to examine unrestrictedly what is given through involved encounters. Horner integrates phenomenology with poststructuralism to develop the idea of revelation as an event wherein God interrupts and exceeds human experience, affecting and transforming it. This captivating concept, named but largely unexplored by theology, articulates a notion of supernatural revelation that begins to appear both coherent and plausible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the West, belief and credal commitment often lose their significance, giving rise to a sense of cultural amnesia.
