The book analyses the presence and the role of themes pertaining to Christian dogmatics in Jean-Luc Marion’s thought, as well as the relationship between these themes and his phenomenology. It argues that, from a theological standpoint, Marion’s activity can be classified as a form of post-metaphysical apology, as he remains faithful to the tradition of the Church and to Christian teachings. It also seeks to discover what theology really is to the French philosopher and how it is put touse in the vast phenomenological demonstration. Moreover, the book attempts to demonstrate that theology is for phenomenology an inspiration, an ex- ample, truth, a form of exceeding metaphysics and onto-theology, as well as the holder of the meanings of Christian Revelation; as for phenomenology, this book shows that it acts as a philosophical paradigm for theology, having an important apologetic role.
