Books by Espen Dahl

The Book of Job considers physical pain, social bereavement, the origin of evil, theodicy, justice, divine violence, and reward. Such problems are explored here by consulting ancient and modern accounts from the fields of theology and philosophy.

Phenomenology is a key area of twentieth-century philosophy in which there is a wide interest, not only among philosophers but also among theologians and religious studies scholars. This title presents a study of phenomenology and the 'return of God'.

Thanks to the recent return to religion, the holy has become a relevant issue in public debate as concepts such as re-sacralization and re-enchantment suggest. This situation calls for a reassessment of both classical and new theories about the holy. This book deals with this topic.
