"In The Givenness of Desire, Randall S. Rosenberg examines the human desire for God
through the lens of Lonergan's "concrete subjectivity." Rosenberg engages and integrates
two major scholarly developments: the tension between Neo-Thomists and scholars of
Henri de Lubac over our natural desire to see God and the theological appropriation
of the mimetic theory of René Girard, with an emphasis on the saints as models of
desire. With Lonergan as an integrating thread, the author engages a variety of thinkers,
including Hans Urs von Balthasar, Jean-Luc Marion, René Girard, James Alison, Lawrence
Feingold, John Milbank, among others. The theme of concrete subjectivity helps to
resist the tendency of equating too easily the natural desire for being with the natural
desire for God without at the same time acknowledging the widespread distortion of
desire found in the consumer culture that infects contemporary life. The Givenness
of Desire investigates our paradoxical desire for God that is rooted in both the natural
and supernatural."
