John Macquarrie fue un teólogo y filósofo de origen escocés, reconocido como el teólogo sistemático más distinguido del anglicanismo en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Su enfoque filosófico estuvo profundamente influenciado por el existencialismo y la fenomenología, lo que moldeó sus exploraciones sobre la existencia humana y la experiencia religiosa. Macquarrie buscó tender puentes entre el pensamiento teológico tradicional y las corrientes filosóficas contemporáneas, ofreciendo una perspectiva fresca sobre la fe y su lugar en el mundo moderno. Sus obras son valoradas por su profundidad intelectual y su empeño por articular conceptos espirituales complejos con claridad.
There is little doubt that in our time the temporal and the historical have acquired a new importance in human thinking. There is a tendency to see everything as swept along in the flux of becoming. Nothing remains static, and even theologians have come to doubt whether such notions as 'immutability' and 'impassibility' are essential characteristics of God. The permanent framework has disappeared and even metaphysical systems are regarded as the products of history
Focusing on existentialism, this classic study delves into the philosophies of Martin Heidegger and Rudolf Bultmann, highlighting their significant contributions to the field. It explores the interplay between existential thought and theology, examining how these thinkers address the human experience and the nature of existence. Macquarrie's insightful analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of their ideas, making it a vital resource for those interested in existential philosophy and its implications in contemporary thought.
