“In the text of Heidegger’s important 1920–21 lectures on religion, this volume gives readers a sense of what phenomenology would come to mean in the mature expression of his thought, revealing an impressive display of theological knowledge, protecting Christian life experience from Greek philosophy and defending Paul against Nietzsche. ”

“We get a sense of what phenomenology would come to mean for Heidegger from these lectures . . . . The reader will meet here a surprising Heidegger.”
