Books by Jason Alvis
The book advances this proposal by applying the work of especially Phenomenologists in France associated with the “Theological Turn”, studying Henry's affectivity, Lacoste’s “liturgy,” Marion’s “revelation,” Nancy’s “adoration,” Levinas’ “Other,” and Chretien’s “hope”.

Special Projects by Jason Alvis
This special issue of the journal, Religions, seeks to explore the connections between eschatology and transcendence within contemporary philosophical-theological debates. This issue will inquire into the convergence or interrelation between the concepts of transcendence and eschatology and how they have developed within contemporary, primarily Continental, thought. On the one hand, thinkers within a hermeneutical-phenomenological context have made a theological turn to re-evaluate concepts of transcendence after the critique of metaphysics. On the other, political philosophers have explored how eschatology(-ies) undergird societal structures that situate the self into a larger, historical context. Within the former discussion, concepts such as radical transcendence and immanent transcendence – or even a so-called end to transcendence – have arisen as possible reorientations after onto-theology. Within the latter, the eschatological promise of the impossible becoming possible, or an end to history, have arisen as motivating principles behind the foundational intuitions and concepts in society.
