God in France : Eight Contemporary French Thinkers on God

According to some, French philosophy has taken an obvious turn towards a theological context.

In their work, contemporary philosophers such as Ricoeur, Levinas, Girard, Henry, and even Derrida and Lyotard in their later periods focus on issues usually associated with theological debates.

For thinkers like Henry, Marion, and Lacoste, theology even plays a prominent role in their thought.

Why this post-Heideggerian turns to God? This book introduces the typically French debate of the so-called 'theological turn of French philosophy' through a presentation of the philosophers mentioned.

Why are they all interested in the quest for God and religion?

How do they understand God in a philosophical way? Thinking about these questions offers to both philosophy and theology the opportunity for a crossover, which is mutually enriching.

This book aims to contribute to this fascinating process.
