About this book
The Play of Goodness provides a phenomenology of creation’s goodness. It argues that what is “good” about creation is not synonymous with a confession of faith and does not require an overly optimistic disposition, but instead appears within diverse and often surprising circumstances.
• The book offers an alternative to continental philosophy’s long history of prioritizing negative experiences like anxiety, death, or nausea, in favor of treating goodness as central to our existence.

Reviews
The Play of Goodness makes an important contribution to continental philosophy and Christian theology. Its central claims are distinctive, and it is written with sensitivity and insight.---David Newheiser, author of Hope in a Secular Age
Clear, coherent, and interesting, The Play of Goodness employs phenomenology to explore the goodness of creation. The book offers a fresh and fruitful conversation with thinkers within and beyond the phenomenological tradition.---Christina M. Gschwandtner, author of Ways of Living Religion: Philosophical Investigations into Religious Experience
