| Summary: | This essay brings theology and phenomenology together in order to explore the role of contemplative practices in the reception of revelation. The essay begins with Jean-Luc Marion’s phenomenological account of revelation and subsequently considers the dynamics of revelation in the context of mystical and liturgical experience. Challenging the understanding of the reception of revelation as a passive event, I argue instead that the habituated practices of contemplation which mark monastic and liturgical life can also be understood to be preparatory techniques to increase the capacity for reception of revelation without, however, controlling or determining its arrival. |
