In theology, this liberation means rethinking God in terms of phenomena such as love, gift, and excess. In addition to an important essay by Marion, “The Reason of the Gift,” and a dialogue between Marion and Richard Kearney, this book contains stimulating essays by ten other Lilian Alweiss, Eoin Cassidy, Mark Dooley, Brian Elliott, Ian Leask, Shane Mackinlay, Derek Morrow, John O’Donohue, Joseph S. O’Leary, and Felix Ó Murchadha.
