Maurice Zundel (1897-1975), Swiss writer, priest and theologian, addresses himself not only to practising believers but to all those who, in a humanity and a Church in crisis, are seeking for a transcendent meaning or purpose to existence. Marginalised by the Catholic Church for his unorthodox, modernist views which present the individual as the source of his own freedom and becoming. Zundel's existential approach to 'being' is complemented by a profound spirituality of interiority and discovery of one's 'person' as the route to true encounter with the 'other'. The 'self' is also the 'creative source' which seeks itself through creative and artistic endeavour. These multiple facets of a theology attuned to the modern world and psyche, combined with a strong ecumenism embracing Islam encountered through long periods in Egypt and Lebanon, have ensured Zundel a huge following. Yet he is hardly known in the English-speaking world. The present book seeks to fill this void. It combines an introduction to Zundel's thinking by reference to his life and person with an analysis of selected extracts from his work translated by the author into English.

The famous account of Gabrielle Bossis' dialogues with Jesus. As simple reflections on the Gospels this book is a daily companion that encourages growth in one's personal relationship with the Lord.
Hegel's philosophy of religion is a philosophical theology in which God is conceived as a movement of inclusive divine subjectivity - ultimately God inclusive of the world. For Hegel, this inclusive divine subjectivity took the form of a movement of conceptual thought. In an effort to work with Hegel while going beyond him, Experience and Spirit presents God as a movement of inclusive divine subjectivity; however, that movement is understood to be not one of thought but of enriching experience and, thus, of spirit. This argument in favor of a renewed understanding of Hegel's true infinite proceeds in three major steps: first, a consideration of Hegel's own problematic proposal; second, the elaboration of a fuller and more contemporary notion of experience; and, third, three constructive phenomenological and philosophical reflections on basic questions in philosophical theology, namely, the experience of God, speaking about God, and the notions of evil, freedom, and mystery. In the end, Experience and Spirit proposes a philosophy of generosity, both human and divine.

Maurice Zundel, prêtre, mystique et théologien suisse du 20e siècle, a laissé derrière lui une œuvre considérable. Le travail d’édition de ses œuvres complètes, rassemblant à la fois ses ouvrages, ses articles et une part conséquente de son œuvre orale, veut permettre de s’approprier la pensée du théologien qui eut une influence incontestable sur la spiritualité catholique de son siècle, bien qu’encore trop peu reconnue. Lorsque la Seconde Guerre mondiale éclate, Maurice Zundel enseigne en France et se voit contraint de rentrer en Suisse où son évêque refuse de l’accueillir. Louis Massignon, grand spécialiste des mystiques de l’Islam, lui propose alors de le r...
