Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-01 00:00:00 Nico Tiedemann This is a great volume. The first half of the book consists of essays situating Blondel biographically and historically, giving the reader an overview of his philosophy of action and of the modernist controversy that he was responding to in History and Dogma. The texts themselves are wonderful, with Blondel attempting to be a mediator between the disciplines of theology and philosophy (apologetics) and history and theology (history and dogma). I particularly love Blondel's take on the impossibility of getting back to a true life of Jesus via the Bible, and of his insistence on taking tradition and history seriously as theological authorities. Christianity, he argues, is not a faith founded on texts, but is rather a metaphysical reality to be experienced in faith.
