'It is important to continue to discuss - as Robyn Horner does here - the possibility, however minimal, of revelation in an age in which divine communication is no longer taken for granted but is instead looked at with suspicion. The author, to meet this challenge, tries to root revelation in deep and meaningful experiences, which are not always mediated by concepts, discursive faculties, or reflective and propositional attitudes. I find that extremely important, since much of the way we engage with the world is in a non-conceptual manner. Mood, affection, embodied habit: each of these consists of modes of inhabiting the world that important thinkers like Heidegger, Husserl, Merleau-Ponty and Marion discuss in some detail. We tend to negotiate the world by way of 'feel' and 'intuition', and by what we 'desire and love', not by concepts we work out with deliberative reason in stepwise fashion. Robyn Horner understands this well, and her book is an able and intelligent exploration of the prospects for a phenomenology of revelation in a secular age.'
