| Summary: | Heidegger's phenomenology of religious life offers important insights by engaging Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, where he distinguishes 'Paul the Pharisee' from 'Paul the Christian' in order to explicate the nature of faith in contrast to systematic theology. Neither certitude in God's existence is primordial to Christian faith, according to Heidegger, nor is rabbinic nor theological disputation concerning God's existence or God's nature. Instead, what is essential to Heidegger's phenomenology of religious life are: (1) faith as lived experience and (2) recognition of 'the Christ' (ho christos/ha masíaḥ). This 'recognition', however, requires phenomenological clarification and not philosophy of religion as traditionally construed. |
