Reviews for The Givenness of Desire: Concrete Subjectivity and the Natural Desire to See God
Rosenberg has achieved something rare: a genuine and sympathetic conversation among neo-Scholastics, Lonergan, Girard, and la nouvelle theologie. The result is a valuable and immensely stimulating book, funded by terrific insight, for a theologically sophisticated readership.
