{"product_id":"9781630873950","title":"Finding Grace with God: A Phenomenological Reading of the Annunciation","description":"Finding Grace with God: A Phenomenological Reading of the Annunciation engages in an interweaving of phenomenology, mystical theology, and feminist philosophy to unfold a theopoetic interpretation of the narrative of the Annunciation in the Gospel of Luke. It begins with a discussion of the foundational phenomenologies of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger and then moves to the more recent work of several French phenomenologists, including Paul Ricoeur, Jean-Louis Chrétien, and Michel Henry. The interpretation is then expanded through the philosophies of Luce Irigaray, Jean-Luc Marion, and Jacques Derrida. Finally, the phenomenologies of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Martin Heidegger provide a means to interpret the Annunciation through theopoetics, as a text that is infused with possibility. Mary, filled with grace, is beckoned by the divine into possibility; responding in grace, she in turn beckons the divine into possibility. Transgressing the limits of language, this possibility slips into apophasis--into a moment of Gelassenheit, a mutual \"letting-be\" or releasement of Mary and the divine into a mystical union of love, a love that becomes manifest through a gift of life.","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180145164528,"sku":"9781630873950","price":10.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781630873950_p0.jpg?v=1763671088","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781630873950","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
