"This book shows Marion working in the many modes that have made him such an exceptional thinker: a historian of philosophy and theology; a stunningly original phenomenologist; and an exceptionally insightful theologian."—Jeffrey Kosky, Washington & Lee University "Revelation Comes from Elsewhere is Marion's masterwork: a summation and extension of all his many original and consequential re-thinkings of phenomenology in its elusive relations with God."—Kevin Hart, Duke University "In the world of contemporary philosophy, Jean-Luc Marion stands out as one of the major heirs of the great religious thought of the West. A culmination of this role can be found in the properly theological approach that presides over his new book."—Florent Georgesco, Le Monde "The new work of Jean-Luc Marion, one of the most internationally-recognized French philosophers of our day, is a full torrent alongside the little stream of ideas we have come to expect from French philosophy."—Philippe Chevalier, Lire "Not only an immense philosophical work on divine revelation, one that refines human notions of phenomenal revelation to make room for a grand possibility of l'adonné embracing divine self-manifestation, but also, for all its ambition and creativity, an oblique work of humility."—Kevin Hart, Modern Theology "This work is both the source and fruit of eminence wisdom, and it ought to be read by anyone interested in modern Christian theology. Highly recommended."—A. Jaeger, CHOICE
