Figuring The Sacred

The thought of Paul Ricoeur continues its profound effect on theology, religious studies, and biblical interpretation. Introduced by Mark Wallace, the twenty-one papers collected in this volume-some familiar, many translated here for the first time-constitute the most comprehensive anthology of Ricoeur’s writings in religion since 1970. The writings are thematically divided into five parts: the study of religion, philosophers of religion, the Bible and genre, theological overtures and practical theology.
