The American philosopher Stanley Cavell (b. 1926) is a secular Jew by his own admission fascinated with Christ, yet his outlook on religion in general is ambiguous. Probing the secular and religious in Cavell's thought, Espen Dahl explains that Cavell, while often parting ways with Christianity, continues to return to Christianity. Focusing on Cavell's work as a whole, but especially on his recent engagement with Continental philosophy, Dahl brings out important themes in Cavell's philosophy and his conversation with theology. Espen Dahl is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Tromso, Norway. He is author of Phenomenology and the Holy: Religious Experience after Husserl and In Between: The Holy Beyond Modern Dichotomies.
