Distinction and disclosure: Robert Sokolowski's "The God of Faith and Reason"

This article discusses the book of Robert Sokolowski, The God of Faith and Reason, as a masterpiece in Fundamental Theology. The book rests on phenomenological insights concerning disclosure or manifestation, and proposes a ‘Christian distinction’ between God and the world. The understanding of God so gained, in which freedom and generosity find first place, provides a deeper understanding of the fundamental connection between all the mysteries of faith, especially the mystery of incarnation, the mystery of graced Christian life, and the mystery of the Eucharist.
