What is it about?

This essay initiated a dialogue between Levinas and Rahner in an effort to probe the limits of theological speech about God. Doctrinal speech performs by rekindling our awareness that we stand always before Mystery. The article suggests how doctrine has a mystagogical dimension capable of directing readers/seekers ever deeper into this Mystery.

This essay would be a relatively good introduction to how Levinas can be engaged in theological reflection and it shows how Rahner continues to be an important theological interlocutor.
