Conclusion -- $tBibliography -- $tIndex 330 $aThis book offers a novel account of grace framed in terms of Bruno Latour?s ?principle of irreduction.? It thus models an object-oriented approach to grace, experimentally moving a traditional Christian understanding of grace out of a top-down, theistic ontology and into an agent-based, object-oriented ontology. In the process, it also provides a systematic and original account of Latour?s overall project.The account of grace offered here redistributes the tasks assigned to science and religion. Where now the work of science is to bring into focus objects that are too distant, too resistant, and too transcendent to be visible, the business of religion is to bring into focus objects that are too near, too available, and too immanent to be visible. Where science reveals transcendent objects by correcting for our nearsightedness, religion reveals immanent objects by correcting for our farsightedness. Speculative Grace remaps the meaning of grace and examines the kinds of religious instruments and practices that, as a result, take center stage. 410 0$aPerspectives in Continental philosophy. 606 $aPhilosophical theology 606 $aObject (Philosophy) 606 $aOntology 606 $aGrace (Theology) 610 $aActor Network Theory. 610 $aAssemblages. 610 $aBruno Latour. 610 $aFlat Ontology. 610 $aGrace. 610 $aObject-Oriented. 610 $aPostmodernism. 610 $aSpeculative Realism. 610 $aTheism. 615 0$aPhilosophical theology. 615 0$aObject (Philosophy) 615 0$aOntology. 615 0$aGrace (Theology) 676 $a210 700 $aMiller$b Adam$g(Adam S.)$0839613 701 $aBryant$b Levi R$0801830 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795016903321 996 $aSpeculative grace$92316822 997 $aUNINA
