The topic of revelation is fundamental to any account of religious
experience, playing a special role in the Judeo-Christian tradition
where the texts of Scripture are regarded as revealed. Yet, any
reflection on the revealed status of a given message or text requires
interpretation. Paul Ricœur, one of the most important hermeneutic
philosophers of the twentieth century, provides crucial insights on
how such interpretation might proceed and what it might mean for texts
to be revealed. Edited by Christina M. Gschwandtner, Paul Ricoeur,
Philosophical Hermeneutics, and the Question of Revelation brings
together major scholars of Ricœur’s work on the topic of
revelation, showing both the role it already plays in his work and how
his thinking might be taken further. Several contributors trace the
development of his thought in regard to the concept of revelation.
Others discuss the revelatory dimensions of Ricœur’s hermeneutics
of the self, especially for such issues as identity, trauma, and
forgiveness. Several contributions also place his work in conversation
with that of other seminal thinkers on the topic of revelation, such
as Karl Barth and Paul Tillich.
