"e;Impressive . . . a gifted theologian . . . manages to place Cavell in conversation with continental thought as productively as anyone before him."e; -Notre Dame Philosophical ReviewsThe American philosopher Stanley Cavell (b. 1926) is a secular Jew who by his own admission is obsessed with Christ, yet his outlook on religion in general is ambiguous. Probing the secular and the sacred in Cavell's thought, Espen Dahl explains that Cavell, while often parting ways with Christianity, cannot dismiss it either. 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."e;It is undoubtedly tricky business writing a book about Stanley Cavell and any book enterprising enough to bring him into conversation with Christian theology should be additionally commended, especially one as likable as Espen Dahl's."e; -Modern Theology"e;Clearly, concisely, and powerfully shows Cavell's frequent and deep links to and engagements with religion and religious themes and with (so-called) Continental philosophy . . . Dahl has also written a highly accessible book on Cavell, and yet one which in no way 'waters down' or dilutes Cavell's thinking. There ought to be more books of this kind on Cavell."e; -International Journal for the Philosophy of Religion"e;In making such a convincing case for claiming that religion is Stanley Cavell's pervasive, hence invisible, business, Espen Dahl also puts Cavell's writings into sustained and productive dialogue with the work of Levinas and Girard in ways other commentators have not previously managed."e; -Stephen Mulhall, Oxford University
