The visible image of a God who may be Michel Henry and Richard Kearney in dialogue

This article attempts an exploration of Michel Henry's I Am the Truth and Richard Kearney's The God Who May Be, as each appropriate the Husserlian critique of Kantian epistemology. Although Henry and Kearney both develop a Christian theology rooted in this Husserlian inheritance, their explication of the truths Christianity asserts is strikingly different. It is the assertion of this essay that this difference is primarily a textual one; or, to put it another way, it is conditioned first by their scriptural gaze.
