Alvis provides new avenues for thinking about God and religious precepts which pay homage to Heidegger's innovations in phenomenology while being true to the salvific story of Jesus.(Phenomenologicl Reviews) Overall, The Inconspicuous God is an insightful treatment of an important topic.(Review of Metaphysics)
