open access: yesJournal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 233-257, September 2025.

open access: yesThe Heythrop Journal, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 54-71, January 2025.
Abstract In his familiar essay in Phenomenology and the ‘Theological Turn’, Jean‐François Courtine writes that the ‘cardinal experience’ of revelatory phenomena would undoubtedly be the incarnation. But in its singularity, this experience, he admits, seems to elude phenomenological thought.
