’... this collection is a thought-provoking and worthwhile example of how phenomenology intersects with theological concerns.’ Religious Studies Review 'We are, we may say, not yet in a position fully to grasp the place and effect of the not yet in the now - and the contributors are to be thanked for raising the issue and for doing so in a vigorous and engaged manner. Hopefully, this book will be a stimulus to renewing interest in what has to be one of the key questions for contemporary philosophical theology in the broadly continental tradition.' Theologische Literaturzeitung '... a well-edited collection full of thoughtful essays by some of the major scholars in the field. Given the present interest in apocalyptic theology, the "new phenomenology" emerging from France, and the interface between philosophy and theology in general, the book will find numerous audiences who will learn much from the essays present within it.'
