Theology as Repetition revisits and argues for a revival of John Macquarrie’s philosophical theology. Macquarrie was a key twentieth-century theological voice and was considered a foremost interpreter and translator of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. He then somehow fell from view. Macquarrie developed a new style of theology, grounded in a dialectical phenomenology that is a relevant voice in responding to recent trends in theology. The development of the book is partly chronological and partly thematic, and avoids attempting to be either deductive or inductive in argument, but rather reflects Macquarrie’s phenomenologically styled new theology. Theology as Repetition is set out in two parts. The first part situates Macquarrie in relation to thinkers from the radical theology of the 1960s through to the postmodernists of the late twentieth century. The second part explores the intersection of key themes in Macquarrie’s theology with the thinking of Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, and representative postsecular and postmodern figures, including but not limited to Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Marion.

A fresh and unusual perspective on the literary, Catherine Pickstock argues that the mystery of things can only be unravelled through the repetitions of fiction, history, inhabited subjectivity, and revealed event.
The Letter to the Hebrews lies at the heart of a tradition that views repetition as a uniformly negative phenomenon. Nicholas Moore argues that repetition in fact has a variety of functions in the letter, including an essential role in the believer's appropriation of the eternally valid work of Christ. (Publisher).
The primary goal of this book is to document repetition in the writings of Moses, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and other biblical writers. Consequent goals are to learn the source, purpose, and configuration of this repetition. In addition, it is hoped that the reader will gain an understanding of the Bible's unique concept and application of repetition.This may be the first book to address the subject of repetition in both testaments of the Bible.In many respects this is also a book about the aesthetics of repetition in the Bible. As an archeological artifact, the Bible employs repetition as a highly developed Hebraic genre. In addition to analyzing the data, the reader has the opportunity to visualize the shape of repetition in the text.In order to support the claims in this volume, approximately 5,000 Scripture verses are quoted herein, which may represent little more than 1% of the possible repetition. All Hebrew and Greek quotations are translated into English for the lay reader. However, publishing the actual Hebrew and Greek was essential for the purpose of documentation. Readers conversant with these languages will want to see concrete evidence. Previous books by this author titled In Search of the Biblical Order, were published in 1987, and a significantly expanded second edition published in 2012. After 37 years of dealing with the subject, this volume arrives at an unexpected explanation for the data. The search for the biblical order was always a search for repetition in the Bible.
"Explores doctrinal systematics through the lens of contextual experience and language theory to depict Christian faith as an ongoing series of encounter and testimony"--
In this graceful and compelling book, Regina Schwartz presents a powerful reading of Paradise Lost by tracing the structure of the poem to the pattern of "repeated beginnings" found in the Bible. In both works, the world order is constantly threatened by chaos. By drawing on both the Bible and the more contemporary works of, among others, Freud, Lacan, Ricoeur, Said, and Derrida, Schwartz argues that chaos does not simply threaten order, but rather, chaos inheres in order. "A brilliant study that quietly but powerfully recharacterizes many of the contexts of discussion in Milton criticism. Particularly noteworthy is Schwartz's ability to introduce advanced theoretical perspectives without ever taking the focus of attention away from the dynamics and problematics of Milton's poem."—Stanley Fish
'The love of repetition is in truth the only happy love' So says Constantine Constantius on the first page of Kierkegaard's Repetition. Life itself, according to Kierkegaard's pseudonymous narrator, is a repetition, and in the course of this witty, playful work Constantius explores the nature of love and happiness, the passing of time and the importance of moving forward (and backward). The ironically entitled Philosophical Crumbs pursues the investigation of faith and love and their tense relationship with reason. Written only a year apart, these two works complement each other and give the reader a unique insight into the breadth and substance of Kierkegaard's thought. The first reads like a novel and the second like a Platonic dialogue, but both engage, in different ways, the same challenging issues. These are the first translations to convey the literary quality and philosophical precision of the originals. They were not intended, however, for philosophers, but for anyone who feels drawn to the question of the ultimate truth of human existence and the source of human happiness.
